Russia's Calendar Revolution

#RussianHistory #CalendarReform #JulianCalendar #GregorianCalendar #SovietHistory #OctoberRevolution #Lenin #PeterTheGreat In 1918, Russia did something extraordinary: it erased thirteen days from the calendar overnight. This video explores the strange and fascinating story of how Russia changed its calendar—from the ancient Julian system to the modern Gregorian one—and why that change took more than three centuries to complete. What began as a scientific correction turned into a cultural, religious, and political struggle involving tsars, popes, revolutionaries, and one very stubborn church. We trace the roots of Russia’s calendar crisis from medieval timekeeping and Peter the Great’s half-hearted reforms to the Bolsheviks’ dramatic decision to simply skip nearly two weeks of February 1918. Along the way, we uncover why the “October Revolution” happened in November, why Orthodox Christmas is celebrated in January, and how Russia ended up living in two different calendars at the same time. More than a technical reform, Russia’s calendar revolution reveals deep tensions between tradition and modernity, church and state, East and West. It’s a story about time—but also about power, identity, and resistance. If you’ve ever wondered how a country can lose nearly two weeks of its life overnight, this is the story behind it. #OrthodoxChurch #HistoryExplained #HistoricalCuriosities #20thCenturyHistory #TimeAndPower #WeirdHistory #HiddenHistory 🔔 Subscribe for more untold Soviet stories:    / @sovietfiles   👍 Like this video if you learned something new ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is entertainment storytelling based on WW2 events from internet sources.
