Everything historically wrong with Anastasia (1997) - revolutionaryth0t

A video essay discussing everything historically wrong with Anastasia! I use the animated musical movie 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.
