Peace, Land and Bread? No, they want my head.

"We're sick of war, it makes everyone dead!" No no he's got a point

Honestly, this whole episode is one of the most friendly to communism for a US TV show.

The part where Lenin suggests getting some money for the Tsar's crown jewels is actually true! In 1920 delegates from the newly created Irish Republic and the new Russian Soviet Republic were in New York trying to get international recognition for their new countries. The Irish Republican delegation had just had a massively successful bond auction in the States and the Soviets looked to get some of it to help in their civil war against the Whites. They offered the Irish some of the Russian crown jewels as collateral in exchange for a war loan, the Irish agreed and were brought back to Ireland to be kept in a small Dublin house that Bram Stoker was born in - seriously! In 1920 Ireland was still under the occupation of the British so needed to be hidden. Later the Irish Govt kept them in a military base. Apparently everyone forgot about the loan until 1948 when the two countries agreed to end the contract. The Soviets repaid the $20,000 war loan ($273,003 in today's money) in exchange for getting the Tsar's Jewels back.

This is actually the most pro Communist parody I had ever seen.

1:10 Damn, that deep voice.

"Peace, Land, and Bread!" Hitler: Anyways I started *blasting*

Lenin after taking the crown: “This’ll buy a lot of peace, land and bread!” **shoots tsar**

I gotta say, stalin really followed through on the "land" part.

2:05 That was the day Stalin could take no more....

"My career is shotsky" ...yeah, only his career...

I laughed hysterically at the "exploiting the poor is really really mean."

They missed the verse where they executed the Tsar and his family.

"Cha, cha, cha!" -V. I. Lenin, 1917

"We're sick of war, it makes everyone dead!", to which Lenin replied, *"Everyone including the Romanovs."* Fun fact, Lenin had an Irish accent, thanks to the man who taught him English being himself Irish. Wish we had more history-centric shows like this one. This, Horrible Histories, and Liberty's Kids are phenomenal

Vladimir Lenin did not overthrow Tsar Nicholas II. He was out of power by the time Lenin came in charge. Lenin did overthrow the provisional government.

Hah, when you're russian for bread, there's no time for stalin.

This makes the Russian revolution seem like a happy peaceful musical

"We're sick of war, it makes everyone dead!" She said in a heavy southern american accent.

"My career is shotsky!" famous last words...I am glad my grandpa's anti-Japanese guerrilla movement in Korea was backed by the Soviets. They made the right decision by selecting my grandpa to become the new leader of the country. He might not have unified Korea, but he and my father did a dang good job rebuilding it from scratch, and it is an honor to continue their legacy.

exploiting the poor IS really really mean

I like that despite this being made during the height of America's "demonizing Russia" phase, it depicts the Bolshevik revolution as at least "good intentions, bad execution".

Stalin: Peace? Bread? Never heard of it! *says while invading Poland*

I think the real peace, land and bread were the friends we made along the way 🥰✨

“So we took them to the basement, and shot them dead! Because all us workers want is peace land and bread” should be a line

Our world geography teacher asked us to watch this video.

Lenin:Hey Leon!, what do you say- Trotsky: *no potato, no revolution.*

Nobody: My history Teacher: Lets present this to the class!

I believe you're forgetting about the February 1917 revolution, after which Russia was ruled by a provisional government, Lenin took over in October.

Although the children look like potatoes, the song is pretty good. Edit: Lol sorry about the crappy grammar and thanks for the likes!

My monarchist neighbours liked the song so much, they broke my window to hear it better.

How positive this cartoon talked about Lenin was really shocking to me, especially just after watching the Stalin version

Lenin: Peace, Land and Bread! Stalin: War, Land and Starve!

Poor comrade Stalin,always being the butt of the joke.

My teacher played this song and the entire grade chanted it at lunch

Some inaccuracies 1:40 - Lenin did not over through the Tsar. While Lenin was exiled in Switzerland for speaking out against the Tsar the Tsar was over thrown and a provisional government was made. The Provisional Government unfortunately didn’t follow up on the whole peace part and they continued WW1 and continued losing to the Germans. This made them unpopular so Lenin was brought to Petrograd by the Germans and he over through the provisional government. After this a civil war followed. 1:47 - Actually, it was quite the opposite. The Russian Crown was considered to be worthless so it wasn’t sold or anything and it was kept in an armory instead, where it still is today. 2:20 - Nicholas II was not sent to some prison. He was sent to house a long with his family in house arrest. It was at first very luxurious but when Lenin came into power their living standards were lowered. Nicholas and his family were later executed by firing squad in 1918.

I attended a conference about the Russian Revolution in college, and they talked about the Russians' wish of peace land and bread. This song started playing in my head lmao

When the rich people ate all of our bread... hmm sounds familiar

2:05 I never noticed just how surprised stalin looks there, I always noticed he got angry but I didnt notice HOW surprised he looks

1:37 Lenin: Can i have the potatoes for throwing it to our people? Trotsky: *N O*

I'm fairly surprised by how sympathetic this show was to the start of the russian revolution. (Stalin still gets shown as a monster, but that's because he kinda was a complete monster.)

“And then right after, during the civil war, the tzar and his family we tried to hoard. Once we decided why we weren’t fed, we took them to the basement and shot them dead!”

"We're sick of war, it makes everyone dead!" well i mean what else would it do Edit: Why do they represent rich people as potatoes?

That moment you realize when you can’t distinguish if it’s brilliant satire or the approbation of an ardent supporter. Hahaha

Actually Nicholas was young why did they make him look like he's 60....

Looking back this is uncharacteristically quite positive towards the Russian revolution. I don't think any media asides from this has been. It's really surprising.

For 300 years, Mighty Russia was ruled By a guy called a Tsar, Tsar: And everything was cool! Chorus: But when the rich people started Eating all of the food, We peasants got upset, And we started to brood... All we want was Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: Everybody sing! Chorus: Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: A little louder now! Chorus: We banded together, And the people all said-- Peace, land, and bread! Toast: Hey, how would you like it if you had to wait in line an hour for a potato? WOW: Yeah! And it's another line for butter and sour cream! Chorus: That's when Vladimir Lenin Arrived on the scene, He said-- Lenin: Exploiting the poor Is really, really mean! Chorus: With his buddy Trotsky, They started a plotsky, To overthrow the Tsar, Lenin: Who we hate a lotsky! Tsar: My career is shotsky! Chorus: All we want is Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: Everybody--ow! Chorus: Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: A little louder, now! Froggo: It's hard to make a sandwich using rocks instead. Chorus: Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: Hey, Leon, what do you say we take over government, declare victory for working class, and begin thirty year Communist regime? Trotsky: All right! Listen, you mind if I get my potato first? Chorus: Lenin's group was called The Bolsheviks, The country's problems They vowed to fix So the workers and the peasants They lead the way To a Russia where they eat food everyday! In 1917 the revolution began The Tsar caved in And threw up his hands As Lenin removed The crown from his head He said-- Lenin: Boy, this'll buy a lot of peace, land, and bread! Chorus: Hey! Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: Ho, everybody! Chorus: Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: Listen to the peoples now! M.Info: We're sick of war, it makes everyone dead! Chorus: Peace, land, and bread! Reporter: Vladimir Lenin, what made you decide to finally take over Russia? Lenin: Well, I decided it was time to quit Stalin! Get it? Stalin! [laughs] Chorus: Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: Oppressed people sing! Chorus: Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: Just the ladies! WOW: I just wanna feed my children And put them to bed! Chorus: Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: Deposed rulers sing it! Tsar: Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: Everybody! Chorus: Peace, land, and bread! Lenin: Cha, cha, cha!

Интересно наблюдать за иностранцами, которые обсуждают нашу отечественную историю)

Peace, land and bread Stalin: >:( -Peace,- land -and bread- Stalin: :)

They sacrificed historical accuracy for catchy lyrics.

Lenin: get it? stalin?! Lenin a few years later: Tell whoever's in charge of giving people's job, not to let that jerk Stalin be in power, by the way, who did i put in charge of giving people jobs? Random advisor: that would be Stalin sir... Lenin:....**dies**

1:58 It’s like saying “I hate Boiling water, it makes me burn”

And then Lenin became crazy and ill, so his best buddy in the whole wide world, Stalin, took over the URSS and made it into the paradise we know it as today.

They kind of forgot about how brutal Trotsky was

"Exploiting the poor is really, really mean" Vladimir Lenin - 1918

I find it humorous how many people are rigorously fact-checking a show written for literal children.

Is it strange that I can see "Peace, Land, and Bread" as the title of a Russian novel?

My teacher showed our class this video im high school 3- almost 4 years and i still come back. I love this so much idk why

1:25 me and the boys walking down the hallway getting everyone to praise us

People: we want peace land and bread Stalin: sure! People: really? Stalin: no *starts 5 years plan* People: *commits hunger*

well, this is a cherry song about a violent revolution that lead to a brutal civil war that lead to a age of terror where even speaking out against the government was punishable by hard labor in a Siberian labor camp

Russian peasants: So we get peace, land, and bread now? Lennie and Stalin: Well yes but actually no.

I remember watching this in history class

Let's hope a mustache man doesnt mess it up.

Memorizing this for 10 extra credit points... YEAH I'LL DO IT.

Rather like this: murder, hunger, death.

1:55 simple explanation to war

All though this song is inaccurate it’s catchy as heck.

Gotta say mate, they follow through on every part except the peace one LMAO

Then Lord and father Satan channelled himself at the 1:10 to inform the heretics

2:05 this relationship between Lenin and Stalin is somewhat accurate as Stalin was made secratary (assign jobs) and Lenin wasn't exactly a fan of Stalin, as on his death bed Lenin: hey man, tell whoever is in charge not toblet that jerk Stalin come in charge, by the way, who's job was that again Attendant: that would be Stalin sir Lenin: *Dies* Other Fun Fact: the song at the start is Polyushka Polye (A russian song about a man leaving for the red Army)

"We're sick of war, it makes everyone dead!" Jee, I didn't know that

My friend Alex is a huge fan of this song! Keep up the good work Hung Nguyen!!

We watched this in Global History today... this song is so catchy.. at least i know the info now XD

We want bread - Sure We want land - Sure We want peace - uuuhhhh.... yeah sure more land

“DEPOSED RULES SING IT” *cuts to lonely jail cell* “peace land and bread(???)”

Today is 4/22. Happy Birthday, Lenin!

Peace, land and bread!

“Oppressed people sing” Stalin: hm, interesting

I love how they started sanitizing Soviet history almost immediately after the USSR collapsed. 😖

Lenin:*becomes leader* Trotsky:What next? Lenin:Civil war,chaos,death and starvation Trotsky:Genius

My history teacher made us watch this... I was in the back of the room dying and confused.

I am a huge fan, can't wait to see you guys in concert soon!!!

For this series, I can say that the creators did not even open the history textbook. And do not care that Nicholas 2 renounced the throne (in favor of himself and his son) in February, do not care that there was some Provisional Government headed by Kerensky, do not care that there was a real crisis in the country, and the war only aggravated it. And let's forget about the fact that some kind of civil war followed in Russia (next to which other civil wars did not stand next to them in terms of bloodiness). And yes, why is it said that only Lenin and Trotsky were such main figures? Where is Zinoviev, Kamenev, or even the same Bukharin?

i love how they try to end every possible word on -tsky... It sounds kinda funny

Was showed this in my A level History class!

"This'll buy a lot of peace, land and bread!" Lenin seconds before ordering the Tsar's execution.

Oversimplified: I'm about to end this man's whole career

Why does Lenin sound like an Italian person

My friend on the guy who voiced Lenin: “he sounds like a gay version of Gru from Despicable Me”😂😂

Ive got my GSCE O-Levels history on 2 hours and honestly this seems to be the best way to study...

Ok where’s Stalin 2:23 ok there he is!

And then even after they had no peace, land or bread.

History of the Russian revolution at most simple way : singing

This show was a trip thank you for reminding me it wasn't a fever dream

"We're sick of war. It makes everyone dead." *Proceeds to have a civil war*

1:34 if irony were ice cream, we’d all be drinking milkshakes.

I learned more from this video than my history class 🗿

"Hey how would you like it if you had to wait in line an hour for a potato?" Me: *Jokes on you I don't eat potatoes.*

Hysteria feels like a fever dream that doesnt end
