If so, how was it? Would you recommend listening to it? I know Mike has some liberal brainworms that come out at times but from what I’ve listened to, I feel like he mostly sticks with the facts. I liked his series that came before this one (English Civil War, French Revolution, Haiti, etc).
There's a moment I remember where some Mensheviks quit parliment in protest, giving the Bolsheviks a majority, and Mike is a total realist about it, no pearl-clutching about civility or anything. I think that moment stuck out to me because it seems like a perfect moment for a more brainwormed historian to howl about duplicitous Bolshevik betrayal, but Mike gives you just the facts ma'am.
I'm certain there are moments where he gets scoldy, or treats power-grabs as somehow ominous, but I don't remember it as getting to the point of being insulting.
In one of the last few episodes there's a frustrating but funny segment where he lists the awful things Stalin did but he's committed to the facts so each time, item by item, he finds himself explaining why Stalin was right, actually
I listened to about half of it and I thought it was really good. I think it started to get wormier later on when I stopped listening but that's not the specific reason I stopped, it's not a big deal imo
