Reviews
GenerationofSwine
OK, this does Tsarists Russia very well.
However, to be fair it plays it fast and loose, so you don't get the information that you really should to understand the history, it could have gone more in-depth.
But, despite that, it is a superb overview. And, it is an entertaining one. You can sit down and watch it and not be bored even if you aren't a history buff. The music is great, the imagery is great, and it focuses enough on the highlights to actually make the viewer a little dangerous.
It's fast, but it gives enough information for people to actually understand it, without knowing all the details, and it does so in a very entertaining way.
You've reached the end.
