(Ten Days that Shook the World)
-
In documentary style, events in Petrograd are re-enacted from the end of the
monarchy in February of 1917 to the end of the provisional government and the
decrees of peace and of land in November of that year.
Lenin returns in April. In July, counter-revolutionaries put
down a spontaneous revolt, and Lenin's arrest is ordered.
By late October, the Bolsheviks are ready to strike:
ten days will shake the world. While the Mensheviks vacillate,
an advance guard infiltrates the palace.
Anatov-Oveyenko leads the attack and declares the
proclamation dissolving the provisional government.
