Great intro series
The 'History in an Hour' series is wonderful for anyone wanting to dip their toe into a subject for a great price. However, don't be fooled by them only being an hour long, I have many episodes of the series and each one I have listened to so far is packed with information on the relevant subject, and, is a great primer to explore the each subject further. Worth every penny.

It's exactly what it says it is. No more, no less.
This is a quick, cheap primer for anyone wanting to get the basics about the Russian Revolution. It's only really of use to anyone who knows little to nothing about the subject, but it's not pretending otherwise, and does a fine job of that.

Great Value for £1.75!
Would recommend it to all; the best value, a lot of history for the price of a bus ticket!

Good overview
Having to teach a topic that you are not wholly familiar with is difficult, which is why I purchased this audio. It certainly helped me to build a base to better understand Russian History; I did need to go over it a few times to let it sink in to my memory and have to admit that sometimes I had to slow the narrator down as the narrator's animated voice can be a little hard to follow.
I would recommend this to other History teachers and beginner historians alike.
