✧Everything historically wrong with Anastasia the musical - revolutionaryth0t✧

A video essay discussing everything historically wrong with Anastasia the musical! I use the live action musical Anastasia as a vehicle to talk about the history of the Russian Empire on the eve of the revolution, the Russian Revolution(s), the USSR, and well, everything that’s historically and culturally wrong with Anastasia the musical. I also include comparisons to the movie version for those who are curious about the differences.

One day I will make a video where I put all the citations directly in the video but today is not that day, but as always, the sources are all below. Much of my information comes from Human Rights in the Soviet Union which is available as a pdf online.
