Russia around the period of the Russian Revolution in color! (1917-1919) 

Для моих российских зрителей: Россия периода Русской революции в цвете! The original B&W film has been restored and colorized at request of a number of our Russian viewers. It shows highly interesting scenes of the aftermath of the second revolution that took place in 1917.

Most scenes in this film were filmed around 1919. In 1917 the Russian Tsar Nicolas II was thrown-off the throne and killed by revolutionairies under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin. His entire family suffered the same fate. For more details please read the timeline and the CC captions.

The original film has been motion-stabilized, slightly speed-corrected, enhanced and colorized using modern A.I. video software. Music: David Celeste, Haempus Naeselius a.o.
