Nicholas and Alexandra, Part 1: Prelude to Revolution (1904--1905)

• 1976 ----- color ----- 30 min ----- 16mm
• Presents some of the causes of the Russian Revolution visible more than a decade before Lenin returned to St. Petersburg. Introduces the major figures of the Revolution: Tzar Nicholas and his wife, Alexandra; the mystic, Rasputin; the liberal advisor, Count Witte; the young radicals, Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky; as well as the vast, nameless masses of the Russian peasants and workers. Ends with the Sunday Massacre of 1905 with the tzarist troops firing on the massed peasants who have come to petition their "little father," the Tzar, about their troubles.
