    More like “tried to follow procedure, but the establishment broke it over and over to stop them until nobody had any faith in the system left”. “Storm before the storm” by Duncan is a great book covering it.

          ye I actually listened to the Oktober revolution part of that podcast before switching to “The History of Rome”

          also the host of “The History of Byzantium” is doing quite a good job too, would recommend

            Heh, the “Mike becomes a commie” series is his masterwork.
