Dead Pundits Society

Joining us this week to commemorate the 101st anniversary of the October Revolution is Sean Guillory, host of Sean's Russia Blog Podcast. We begin by reflecting on the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution; Sean offers some insights about how we ought to remember those events. Next, we move on to a conversation about the founding and the culture of the Komsomol, or the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League, and how the in-fighting inside the group offers a lot of parallels to the battles being waged inside the left in our current era.
