The "Revolutions" podcast (season 10) by Mike Duncan goes into great detail about the Russian revolution.
Be for warned, the Russian revolution season is over 100 episodes (more than 50 hours). Each of the seasons start out slow, introducing the characters, setting, and background, but once it gets going it gets so good.
My recollections of the Russian revolution season was the Bolsheviks were pretty worthless and considered a joke. They kind of just succeeded because everyone else was so exhausted and apathetic by the time they tried to grab power. Also, Stalin was a Georgian bank robber.
All the seasons are good, but the first two (English and American) aren't as good. Mike was still trying to figure out how in-depth he wanted to be for the podcast and so those seasons are rather shallow. I particularly like the Mexican revolution (Zapata!).
