where is my october revolution musical HMMMMMMMMMMMM
fr fr, you want an impressive revolutionary figure that fought for freedom, look no further than Lenin!
Vladimir Lenin? Vicious tyrant who killed a million people and created the evil Soviet Empire which would menace the world for decades.
The American Founding Fathers? Well, you have to take into account their time and place…

anastasia:
- rasputin doing evil magic causes the october revolution
- the main character is a royal family member
- bolsheviks are depicted as mindless zombies under rasputin’s evil spell
- royals are depicted as sympathetic benevolent autocrats who never ever encouraged antisemetic pogroms
- Lenin not mentioned but originally supposed to be the villain insted of Rasputin
- wildly ahistorical even for a cartoon
- has a few numbers, but mostly not a musical
- the tsar is still in power october 1917 even though he abdicated months earlier
- the tsar gets killed in october 1917 even though he was killed in 1918
this is unsatisfactory
