The Sailors of Kronstadt
The Smithsonian Channel is running an excellent program on the Russian Revolution. A lot more to it than I realized.

Sounds interesting, I'll try to catch it.

But I've lost a lot of respect for the Smithsonian Channel after I caught part of their "Life After Aliens" program, or whatever they called that hogwash.

Somehow, a bunch of people crawling out of a cave and destroying the mother ship by sending an IED up their giant vacuum sweeper...and then cheering like a bunch of numb nuts at the big game...was a little too incredulous for even my pea brain to comprehend...even through a drunken fog.

I'd never heard of that one. It does seem beneath them.

Pretty sure I saw it on their channel, for no other reason than I couldn't believe that they would air such garbage.

But I was slightly intoxicated. Otherwise I wouldn't have watched it for 10 seconds. As it is, I'm out about 15 minutes of my life. Even worse, it was so pathetic that it wasn't even funny.

They do have a few shows just not this one. Maybe after this season is done they will post it. I would really enjoy hearing what those sailors had to write home about.

Nearly all of them wound up dead, betrayed by the Soviets.

I was wrong, it was "Alien Invasion" on the National Geographic Channel.

My apologies to the Smithsonian Channel.

That said, I would have expected better from the National Geographic.
