...But it can appear as such only in retrospect. Lenin himself thought it an extremely chancy undertaking

-Pipes

So, the rest of the October revolution, lets face it, was pretty dull. It's pretty much just anti-Bolshevik this, pro-Tsarist that and so on, vice versa, etc.
Which is why I really can't be bothered explaining to you the events of day 4 or day 5,6,7,8,9 or 10. I have better things to do, and I'm pretty sure you do. Well, you probably don't and in which case, you should just go out and buy a book on the Russian revolution (but still read this blog!) because that would probably be more insightful (but far less humorous and pro-Trotsky-est) and probably be slightly more educational. Or just go on wiki, that ones free.

So leave me alone; I have to study like a maniac. Hmm, not really, being a maniac is what I did when I found out the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are doing all ages sideshows this December. FUCKING AMAZING. But this isn't a music blog, so go read pitchfork or something.

I feel somewhat disturbed by the blunt way it was delivered. But I'll let it pass I guess. It seemed like you've had it up your sleeve a while, were you just waiting for the right moment to pounce? I walked straight into it didn't I.

Bella, sif you'll need to worry about the Russian. Just talk up how awesome lenin was and what a fox Trotsky IS! Did I mention I got a Lenin shout out in my English exam. I was pretty pleased.

it was strictly a crime of opportunity - i saw an opening and spontaneously thought, "hey, this is a golden chance for self promotion."

you're doing PRACTISES, bella? shit. i better get into those.

Isabella said...

get onto it.
mines pretty bollocks, but i feel kind of productive.

I appreciate the use of the word "crime" but you better watch out, because I'm somehow gonna get a rawr russia plug on your comments sometime soon. It probably won't make as much sense as yours, unless you start listening to Russian music or do a review of Boney Ms "Rasputin". Actually, I would appreciate that, it would make it alot easier for me.

Bella please, as if its bollocks. You do anything but. Your essays are brilliant, especially those on Russia. Also, I think you should read the "examiners" notes because I just did and its really insightful. But I feel this isn't suitable for comments on posts...

quel examiners notes?
what do they look like/ when did we get them?
