On the 100th Anniversary of the world-shattering Russian Revolution, Horrible Histories explores Russia’s Revolting past in this bumper special episode. From Czar Nicholas II, Rasputin, and Karl Marx; to Lenin, Stalin, and the collapse of the Berlin Wall 1989 - they are all covered in Horrible Histories’ irreverent style. All with your host Rattus Rattusiovich to guide the way! This children’s comedy series started out tackling the funny bits of history, and bringing them to the audience full of facts, gory details and lots of laughs. As the series has developed and found its dedicated fans we have taken on more and more challenging bits of history, which it feels like our young audience should be exposed to. This year was the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. We took on the challenge through our unique combination of sketches, songs and quizzes, to bring the story of Russia to an international audience. It took considerable skill from our team to get the tone right. But we are very proud that within the parameters of a comedy for children we were able to explore some huge and important themes and bring them some of the most important and challenging events of the 20th century.
