Professor Richard Spence is the author of Wall Street and the Russian Revolution. I invited him on to help me sift through the realities and fantasies of the different claims made for US backing of the Bolsheviks - as well as their involvement in the wider Revolution. Professor Spence also discusses the ambiguities of history, and what conspiracy theorists tend to get right and wrong.
