Lenin disagreed with Marx in that the economy of Russia was not capitalized. Marx thought Socialism is only possible from capitalized industrial society. Lenin felt the party could take over from the top down rather than bottom up. The party would then industrialize the country before communism.

Better known as the McCarthy Trials running from the late 40's to the early 50's. The events of often compared to the Salem Witch Trials in that anyone could make an accusation or suggestion of subversion or treason and no real evidence was necessary. The people brought before the 'Commission' and asked to admit there acts or perhaps name others to get a pass. It was a system ruled by fear (think post September 11- when Bush denied and removed the rights of hundreds of thousands of people, with little resistance because resistance equals treason). Anyone deemed to be a communist was blacklisted and became seen as less then human.

Hope this helps, for more info check online, a great summary can be found on wikipedia just type McCartyism.

Good Luck

Tsar Russia was in WW1 together with Allies but after the Revolution it was Soviet union (SU/USSR) which contained Poland before the war, but gave it up afterwards. Learn history please, but not in America, because nobody there knows history correctly. Peace. Sorry for my bad English.

Lenin led the revolution. When he returned from switzerland, he inspired the masses to revolt against the Burgeoise. Also, he inspired soldiers to convert to the cause. Thus, he was a major influence in the revolution. Partly right. In fact Russia had threee revolutions to deal with. 1905 - after a enormous defeat against Japan (the entire navy was lost) the Tsar had to deal with the Bolsjewist and Mensjewist party who took over control over several cities. The revolution was surpressed, and Nikolai II promised to reform the country. This didn't happen though and in February 1917, nikolai II was abducted and a temporary government was formed. Main people in this government were anton Kerenski (a former journalist if I'm not mistaken) and Prince Llov (a liberal) Allthough thy tried to reform the country, they didn't succeed to prevent the bolsjewiki to overthrow this government in november 1917 (done by Lenin, trotski and Stalin). Lenin took control over the government. A bit later, the civil war started which lasted for three years (1917 - 1920) eventually won by Lenin and his frieds (the jew Trotsky was the main architect to victory here). Since then, propaganda stated only one heroic revolution took place in 1917. The truth is, that Lenin just entered the room and said something like. Gentlemen, we take over control. It seems as if WWI had just as much responsibility for the Oct. Revolution as the Bolsheviks did. The autocracy surely would've retained power without entrence into the war. The situation in Russia by 1917 had become very unsatisfactory and Lenins return to the coutry with the help of the Germans was vital. This is not because of Lenins major influence on the revolution but his presence in a moment of possible change to the government, the war played a big part but it was Lenin who utalised the situation to his advantage and he knew when the time had come for a possible Bolshevik take over.

The Bolshevicks actually took power from the provisional government on October 25th 1917 (Note: this is by the Christian calendar, back then the Russians used a different kind of calendar, and that is why it is celebrated in November.) but the actual revolution started on Bloody Sunday in 1905 when the people of Russia went to the Czars winter palace and asked that he help his people out of poverty, but the Czar ordered for his men to fire on the protesters.

Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicolaievna b. 1901-1918 lived chiefly in relative isolation (by Russian Imperial standards) with her family, Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna along with her three elder sisters and younger brother the Tsarevitch Alexei in the Alexander Palace at Tsarkoe Selo, fifteen miles south of the Imperial Capital, St. Petersburg or after 1914, Petrograd.

The Russian Imperial progress however followed a cyclical migration around the empire. In March the Imperial family would depart the ice and sub-zero temperatures of the capital and journey to the summer palace in the Crimea high above the Black Sea at Yalta. This was called Livadia and was the favourite residence of both the Tsar and Empress as well as the children. Here they could live more informally than anywhere else and frequently went into Yalta unrecognized by the citizenry to shop or simply enjoy a few hours as a "commoner". In June the Imperial family cruised the Baltic often journeying to Denmark to visit the Tsar's maternal grandparents King Christian IX and Queen Louise. Escaping the heat and mosquitos which invariably would plague the marshes of St. Petersburg in the summer the Imperial progress took the family to Tsar Peter the Greats 'Versailles of the East' the architect Rastrelli's masterpiece; Peterhof on the shores of the Baltic Sea. September the family journeyed by rail deep into the Polish wilderness to the Imperial hunting lodge called Spala. Most of the family found Spala to be a rather miserable stay due to it's inaccessibility and it's unreliable electricity. It was also known to be extremely damp, some corridors in the "lodge" were known to be covered in moss. Alas the stringent dictates of Imperial protocol. In November the Imperial family returned to Tsarkoe Selo ostensibly for the beginning of the Imperial social season of midnight balls , suppers, opera and ballet. Protocol dictated the Imperial family should reside in St. Petersburg in the Winter Palace during the 'season' but the Empress was exceedingly shy and felt awkward in society. The Tsar was just as happy as his wife to remain sequestered at Tsarkoe Selo preferring to allow Grand Duchess Vladimir, the ambitious German wife of the Tsar's uncle to preside over the festivities of the season in the capital.

There were two revolutions in Russia in the early 20th century1905 and 1917

1905 - Mass unrest and discontent in Russia led to Tsar Nicholas II disclaiming his absolute autocratic power by introducing Dumas in the October Manifesto. After 4 Dumas proved unsuccessful the Tsar regained his power until 1917, when the Bolsheviks (left wing political party) overthrew the Tsar and then murdered the last of the Romanov's in July 1918. Their dynasty ended thus leaving Russia in Communism.

Yes, Trotsky was a totalitarian in the sense that he would permit no deviation from the Bolshevik/Communist plan for the country whether the people wanted it or not. Trotsky was every bit as ruthless and oppressive as Lenin was toward anyone who voiced opposition to the Party line.

In Russian the word Stalin means "Man of Steel". He did it to improve his image.

In addition, his true last name, Dzhughashvili, identified him as a Georgian rather than as a Russian. In order to make himself more acceptable to the Russians in the Bolshevik Party, he adopted the name Stalin because it made him sound more Russian than he really was. The people of Russia probably would not have liked having a Georgian ruling their country.

Stalin was imprisoned and exiled several time in his life. He was arrested and jailed outside Baku in Bailov Prison in March 1908. Then he was sent into internal exile but escaped. He was recaptured on March 23, 1910 and again locked up in Bailov Prison and again sent into exile. Once again he escaped and went back to St. Petersburg. On September 9, 1910 he was caught a third time, imprisoned and on December 25 sent back into exile.

Stalin managed to get away from the town he was exiled to, but on February 23, 1913, he was again arrested and this time sentenced to exile in a particularly disagreeable town in Siberia, which is where he stayed for the next four years until the February Revolution in 1917 toppled the Tsar. With no Tsarist forces to arrest him again, Stalin got on a train back to St. Petersburg.
