Joseph Stalin was born in Gori, a city in Georgia. He rose to power in 1929 when he became the dictator of Soviet Union which was led by Vladimir Lenin’s death in 1924. In many of his actions Joseph Stalin clearly demonstrates the use of Machiavellian laws, which were made by Niccolo Machiavelli, an Italian renaissance writer, humanist, diplomat, historian and Politician. These political philosophies are found in the book “The prince” published in 1532 about how a prince should behave. The extent

My presentation today is on Vladimir Lenin (who I will refer to Lenin from now) and Leon Trotsky (who I will refer to as Trotsky from now on) and how they influenced the revolutions of 1917. Now, I think a good place to start when explaining how they influenced the 1917 revolution is by explaining why they were even involved in that revolution in the first place. Quite simply, they were part of the Bolshevik revolutionary party which conducted the October revolution. Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik

Both in Russia and China, a totalitarian leader took control after a civil war. In Russia, following the establishment of the provisional government, a communist government under the Bolshevik revolutionary Vladimir Lenin was enacted. This came after a Bolshevik civil war victory over the more democratic and capitalistic “White Army” and led to the complete state ownership of property and the creation of the USSR (aka Soviet Union). After Lenin’s death, Joseph

Stalin After Rising to Power The Soviet Union’s first leader was Vladimir Lenin. During his leadership, Stalin went up the ranks and soon became the secretary general of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. This role allowed him to choose allies for government jobs and grow a base of political support. However, Lenin died in 1924. Stalin succeeded Lenin, despite Lenin’s last words saying that Stalin was too harsh to be in power and Leon Trotsky should the next leader. After Stalin was in

continuous leaks are doing nothing more than harm the American people and America's reputation abroad. From alleged Russian collusion, to giving away classified information, to a request to obstruct justice, my head spins daily. Russian President Vladimir Putin describes the reaction of the U.S. to the allegations that Trump gave away classified information to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov as "political schizophrenia." President Putin has offered to provide members of the U.S. Congress with

Putin and Orange Revolution 24 September 2011 was a significant day when Vladimir Putin announced that he would run again for president. That was the first open and clear statement that there is no hesitation and he is the next Russian president. It became clear for many Russians that their opinion was disregarded, that nothing actually depended on their votes and nothing would change. The following government election and protest actions have drawn attention of the whole world including common

Russian Revolution “We no longer have a Tsar. Today a river of blood divides him from the Russian people. It is time for the Russian workers to begin the struggle for the people’s freedom without him. For today I give you my blessing. Tomorrow I shall be with you. Today I am busy working for our cause”. Russian Priest, Father Georgy Gapon, conveys his thoughts in a letter read at the meeting of liberals, after the tragic petition of Bloody Sunday. The Romanov’s dynasty attempt at modernizing Russia

declared the foundation of the Communist Party of China. Contrary to China, the rise of communism in Russia was not supported by as many people. The Russian people were hungry and desperate for change. This lead to a less difficult rise to power for Vladimir Lenin. His rebellion was assembled by a small force that overthrew the power of an already weak government. The citizens of the USSR felt less passionate about the revolution because they were not all involved in it together like the Chinese people

The events that led to the horror that was the Red Terror began when the Romanovs could not afford to fight in World War 1. This of course led to the government printing large amounts of rubles, leading to inflation. Of course, many peasants were not happy with this because it made their income even closer to worthless than it had previously been. This is a key detail in why so many people Due to the poor state of Russia, the last tsar Nicholas II, was forced to fight on the front line and when he

In 1902, he escaped with a forged passport with the name Trotsky and adopted as his revolutionary pseudonym, then moved to London and joined the Russian Social-Democrats working with Vladimir Lenin, where he sided with the Mensheviks. On May 1917, Trotsky
