Lenin

Lenin and Stalin had opposing ways on what the Communist government should look like. Lenin gave the power to the Communist party, and Stalin gave most of the power to himself. Both Lenin and Stalin used a secret police force that kept the power. Lenin's new economic policy allowed for some peasants to have their own land, while Stalin made a Command economy were the government owns everything. Under Lenin, the standard of living rose for many peasant and workers. Under Stalin the standard of living fell and peasants were struggling. Lenin and Stalin had differents views on Russian politics, but Stalin's way contributed to more suffering of people.

The novel Brave New World by Alfred Huxley presents us a number of fascinating characters, such as Lenina, who is arguably the most interesting and complex figure depicted by Aldous Huxley. In a society that conditions its population and imposes social norms, individuals can be separated into two distinct categories: the few who chose to speak up and act against the oppressive system, and most common, the conformists who blindly follow the rules and do not question authority. On one hand, Lenina is a conformist as a result of conditioning, because she reinforces social norms, however the young woman presents rebellious character traits in her desire to experience romantic feelings prohibited by her society, though the reader might overlook her defiance because of her lethargy and ignorance when it comes to reforming the flaws in the totalitarian system.

women in her church because of the way Dennis doted on her. He would often put away her coat and hold doors for her. Also was an attentive father who took his kids camping and fishing. In addition, he was a very active member of his church, Christ Lutheran. As the congregation’s president he would organize meetings and help around the church. His job had a major part to play in his seizing of victims. In 1991 he became a code compliance officer in Park City, where he lived. He was a stickler and would wonder through backyards chasing stray pets. Children would take cover whenever the saw his white van approach (Chu). The job was very important to him, it allowed freedom to let his mind wonder. The police said it was a safer way to help him occupy his time for 8 hours a day for 5 days a week (Douglas 324). “His external life was a mask of sanity. His internal life was one violent fantasies” (Chu). Mix of bad and good traits made him

The question of whether or not Stalinism was a logical continuation of Leninism is a difficult one. Stalinism did take significantly more drastic measures than Leninism did. There were differences in policy. But in spite of these, Stalinism still found its basis in Leninism. Even Trotsky, a friend of Lenin and a staunch opponent of Stalin, grudgingly admits that "Stalinism did issue from Bolshevism" (Trotsky). Stalin's policy of socialism in one country, his use of terror to eliminate opposition, and his suppression of democracy and the soviets were all characteristics of Lenin well before they were characteristic of Stalin. Although some of Stalin's policies were different from those of Lenin, what difference Stalinism did

Vladimir Lenin was a Bolshevik Leader for the 1917 October Revolution, and the first Head of State for the Soviet Union. His contribution to

Almost everyone knows what a monster Adolf Hitler was, but most people do not know that one of the great ally leader of World War II, Joseph Stalin, had committed even greater atrocities than Hitler. Joseph Stalin was a ruthless and yet diligent dictator of the Soviet Union, whose rise to power influenced a multitude of major events in his country’s history. Due to Stalin’s impactful reign, he made the Soviet Union become a global superpower, underwent difficult hardships such as the Great Famine in the Soviet Union, and after his death, caused the Soviet Union to go through a process known as de-Stalinization.

Furthermore, throughout the film Wolfgang Becker also uses Cultural aspects of East Berlin and West Berlin. Wolfgang Becker also shows the differences between East and West living. In Goodbye Lenin Alex found it difficult to keep the reign of GDR alive, as East Berlin was becoming into West Berlin. Alex’s mother Christiane was making things more difficult for Alex as the supermarkets were emptied and it was almost impossible to find the food Christiane wanted e.g. Spreewald Pickles and Globus Peas (00:42:10). Alex uses old bottles and bottle labels that were found in the rubbish dump and fills them up with western food he buys from the supermarket (00:41:31) one reason behind this is so Alex’s mother Christiane does not find out about the changes

Lenin’s, “Red Terror,” and the Cheka force made him a cruel tyrant. Valadmire Lenin’s, “Red Terror” made him a cruel tyrant. In the article, “Lenin vs History”, it states, The aim of the Terror was described by one of Lenin's foot soldiers as being "Kill our enemies in scores of hundreds... For the blood of Lenin... let there be floods of blood of the bourgeoisie - more blood, as much as possible.” Essentially, the Red Terror was a movement instigated by Lenin to silence anyone that opposed him, or threatened to overthrow him.

Stalin was very harsh and strict about his rules as a leader. He went too far when anyone who didn’t agree with his rules were sent away to Siberian ¨work¨ camps, and for the Ukrainians who wouldn't give up their farms they got all of their crops confiscated. Causing the starvation of 10 million Ukrainian people. When the depression hit Japanese exports to the USA and Europe stopped because they had to focus on their own industries. That cost a lot of jobs in Japan, silk farmers suffered and the rice crops also failed and caused famine. People became frustrated and started to blame the government.They were angry and needed to do something about it. Japan went too far when they invaded Manchuria in 1931. Hitler was a very powerful influential

A totalitarian state gave the government all of the power over society and seeks control over every aspect in regard of it citizens whether public or private which originated in the year of 1923. Germany, Italy, Soviet Union, and Spain all were totalitarian states at once upon time. Totalitarian states all begun with the most powerful, crucial leaders to date. All of the leaders have something in common, they all wanted power. They all realized that with power comes great responsibility, they gave themselves too much responsibility. Joseph Stalin, the dictator of the Soviet Union created fascism. Adolf Hitler, the leader of Germany created the Nazi Party. Benito Mussolini, the leader of the Italy was a part of the communist party. Francisco

Analyzing the Bolshevik State compared to Marxism can be difficult because Marx, Engels and their followers gave relatively little thought to what the state would look like after a socialist revolution. Engels famously wrote, “the state is not ‘abolished,’ it withers away,” which highlights the hazy and unfixed nature of Marx and Engle’s writings on the ultimate, classless society they envisioned. Further, what they did write is subject to the differing interpretations by numerous socialist parties all claiming to be Marxist. As discussed earlier, Lenin claimed he simply reshaped Marxism to fit the conditions of Russia. Others argue his interpretation was not true Marxism at all. However, the basic principles of a socialist state in the eyes of Marx’s are outlined in the Communist Manifesto as follows:

Communism is a system of social organisation which formerly consumed almost a third of countries in the entire world, having originated in Russia. The first official communist state was founded during the Russian revolutions in 1917, due to the inaugural communist political party ‘Bolsheviks’ gaining primal power. Afterwards, the influence of communism spread to other countries with the likes of Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and East Germany to name a few. These countries that were governed on communist principles were known as the ‘Eastern Bloc’. Even countries in Asia were persuaded into the theoretically human equality system such as China, Laos and Vietnam. Communism was gathering strength to strength every year in the mid 20th century, but eventually its impact was wiped off in the late 20th century when the Berlin War was knocked down in 1989, ending the barrier between the Eastern and Western blocs. Communism arguably was the most influential social experiment in history, but also the most flawed and its failure to change the world permanently will always remain significant in history.

Lev Davidovich Bronstein was a major political figure in the turn of the twentieth century for the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialists Republics) aka Russia. Bronstein’s impact was greater with national history than international history. He was born on November 7, 1879, Ukraine (Yanovka) and later changed his name to Leon Trotsky, the name of his prison guard at Odessa prison whilst in exile in Siberia. Trotsky was introduced to Marxism at a young age of 17 at a school in Nikolayev. Marxism is a political ideology crated by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that presents the idea of having a revolution involving violence in order to obtain a classless society.

Joseph Stalin (1878 – 1953) was the dictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or Soviet Union from 1929 to 1953. In the eyes of many, Stalin’s rule was a time of terror and suffering. Stalin ruled by fear. Anybody that showed the slightest sign of objection or rebellion against Stalin could be sent away to the Gulags without ever returning. As leader of the Soviet Union, Stalin stopped at nothing to transform his country from a rural society that functioned with outdated and poor tools, into an international superpower. Under his reign, Stalin ruthlessly killed tens of millions of people. The main cause of death was forced labour. Some people see the time of his reign a time of great pride for the Soviet Union as it was under him that the nation became an international super power and helped defeat Hitler. However this is not the view of others. Others say that his reign was a time of only terror and suffering and that he was a man of pure evil.

Vladimir Lenin Vladimir Lenin was the Bolshevik leader. He was a clever thinker and a practical man; he knew how to take advantage of events. When Lenin arrived in Russia, he issued a document called the April theses, promising ‘peace, bread, land and freedom’. He called for an end to the ‘Capitalist’ war, and demanded that power should be given to the soviets.
