In the wake of revolution, the Bolsheviks promised justice, equality, and a new world. But behind the slogans and red banners was something far darker.

Between 1918 and 1922, hundreds of thousands — perhaps millions — were executed, starved, tortured, or simply erased under Lenin’s regime. The Red Terror wasn’t a reaction. It was a policy — cold, calculated, and justified in the name of progress.

In this episode, we uncover the hidden genocide that reshaped Soviet Russia and ask why, over a century later, the world still refuses to face it. From rural executions and secret prisons to Western complicity and modern ideological echoes, this is a history that was buried — and must now be unearthed.
