The crowd would wake from their sleep, get ready, eat breakfast and be called back into the theatre proper.

Slays would appear before them as the cast would get into their seats.
"Before we start this one, I'm gonna bring in a few more people; I've already shown them the last universe you all saw," Slays explained.
Suddenly, The Belladonna's and The Schnee's (Sans Jacques) would just kinda pop into existence.
Weiss excitedly greeted her family, while the Belladonna's greeted Blake, before sitting in their seats.

"So, remember what I said about Salem being a revolutionary last time?"
The audience would nod.
"This universe is going to explore the several revolutions in her country, including the one she was apart of, turn it on Jerry!"
The monkey would put a disc in, and the screen would turn on.

"Hey Jimmy it's the 1800s, an exciting time to be alive why don't you get out there and explore the world?" A mother asked her child. "Gee whizz, mom, thanks!" He'd reply.
"This place is amazing! Where am I?" He'd ask in a beautiful looking city. "Why you're in France my boy, where we come up with wacky new ways of running a country: Liberty, Egality, Fraternity," A man in a suit told the boy.
Jimmy would end up in a train station, a conductor in front of him. "Welcome to the United Kingdom, here we invented the train!" The conductor explained. "ALL ABOARD!"
Jimmy was now in a factory, talking to a German worker. "Holy smokes!" Jimmy said. "You're in a German factory my friend; here we harness fire and coal to create all these sexy lederhosen," The worker explained. "This is incredible, I can't wait to see where I'll end up next," Jimmy said, grinning ear to ear.

The audience were all excited about how developed Europe appeared to be, everyone appeared happy the 1800s looked like a great time for all! Why would anyone revolt?

Jimmy would end up in a desolate dirt patch, a female farmer looking down on him. "W-where am I?" He'd ask, the women would spit on the ground.
"You're in Russia."
"Have... I gone back in time?"
"No, this is just how it is,"
"Are you a farmer?"
"Worse, technically my landlord owns me; which makes me a serf,"
"I'm scared..."
"You should be, because I haven't eaten in 4 days, and you look pretty tasty,"
The scene would then cut back to the kitchen, Jimmy's mother making a pizza.
"Hey Jimmy, how were your travels?" She'd ask. "I hate you!" Jimmy said, crying and running to his room.

The audience got their answer, anyone would want to get rid of this.

"Russia in the 19th century: feudal, underdeveloped and stuck in the past," The narrator said over a map of Russia, pictures of just how terrible it was popping up.
"While the rest of Europe had been modernising and improving its citizen's lives," The narrator said over money raining down with factory owner with bags of money in their hands, and someone writing a constitution. "Russia's rulers were taking a different approach," He'd explain

"My lord, we're falling behind the rest of Europe. It's time to industrialize, give the people rights and share your powe-," A man was cut off by the king shooting him with a rocket launcher.

"Now I see why they can't modernize, an unwillingness to accept change will only end in failure," Ozpin stated.

"Russian Tsars had no time for pathetic ideas like liberty and modernization, because they were having the time of their lives," The Narrator said over the Russian Tsar looking a whiteboard with the words "Things to do: liberate, modernize" written on it, the Tsar would go "Yeah right, nerds," before the video would cut to a rave.
"While the serfs were breaking their backs in the fields," Serfs working would be shown. "The Tsars held all the power and they didn't have to listen to anyone." The narrator explained, the words "Autocracy" appearing at the top of the screen over the Tsar and nobility in the throne room.
"Wanna run the country like a backwards feudal kingdom while the rest of Europe outpaces you economically and militarily? Go right ahead," The narrator explained over the Tsar whipping a peasant, while a Frenchman went "Non c'est tragique."
"Wanna keep the people uneducated so they don't get any ideas? There's no one to stop you," He continued, with the Tsar holding a sign saying "Nobles only" outside of a school
"Wanna keep exporting grain even though there's a famine causing hundreds of thousands of people to die? That's your god given right!" He'd explain, a light shining down on the Tsar, making him thank god.
