Vladimir Lenin

There were two revolutions in Russia in 1917. Depending on which calendar is used, the first one in March of 1917 forced the Tsar to step down. A provisional democratic government was installed. It included democratic socialists, the Mensheviks. The idea was, however, to continue with the war against Germany. In October/November...the Bolshevik revolution unseated the provisional government. As per the agreement Lenin made with Germany, Lenin managed to sign the Brest-Litovsk Treaty. The treaty was a harsh one for Russia. Most of the Bolsheviks were against it. Reportedly this was the deal that helped Lenin, through the process of returning to Russia. ( reportedly ) Only Lenin's commanding position in the Party let him hold sway and he signed the treaty, this ended the Russian part of WW 1.

After Lenin's death, Stalin managed to oust Trotsky from membership in the Communist Party, then from the Soviet Union itself. Trotsky was forced into exile first to Turkey, then France, then Norway and finally to Mexico. In 1940, Stalin had a Russian agent named Ramon Mercader murder Trotsky with an ice axe.

Lenin's impact on both western and eastern culture and society is difficult to measure, as it has been so widespread. His leadership of the first Communist revolution (in Russia in 1917) established the Soviet Union as a world power. The establishment of the Soviet Union eventually led to the establishment of Communist (and related Socialist) governments around the world, while also transforming language and ideas around the world as reflections of the new force at work in global politics.

Men, from every country, were taught to respect the officers. The officers tried to act like enlisted men which made the soldiers angry. They felt officers should act like officers, not like common soldiers.

· As the war continued, people began to lose faith in the government. The people didn't trust the Tsarina as she was German and her close relationship with Rasputin caused a scandal. The Tsar wished to fight the bitter end of the war, but he soon failed as he lost his vital support, and his government was overthrown.

· The existing Provisional Government was weak and unpopular among the workers, peasants and soldiers, but it was more unpopular with the Bolshevik Party who wanted power, so they stepped in and took it practically without firing a shot

· On Nov. 7, 1917, Russia’s Bolshevik Revolution took place as forces led by Vladimir Lenin overthrew the provisional government of Alexander Kerensky.

· The Provisional Government was now replaced by an administration headed by Vladimir Lenin.

27th october, Lenin announced his first big changes to Russia:

He called for an immediate end to the war and just peace. He believed that the war would end anyway when the German workers and soilders were inspired by the Russians to stage their own revolution

He set up Russias third and final government for 1917. The new government was to be called the soviet of peoples commissars or sovnarkom for short.

He allowed peasents to use all of the farming land they had taken for themselves during 1917. The Bolsheviks did not want the peasants to own the land. In a communist society there is no private property and everything is shared. But Lenin recognised that the peasants made up most of the population. The peasants wanted land and the Bolsheviks needed the peasants on side, so Lenin decided that they would let the peasants have the land for the time being and then decide later how to change the situation.

There was no-one there to rule so Stalin thought it would be an "Amazing" chance to rule.

No, because Lenin died of natural causes in 1924 after suffering a stroke in 1922. After Lenin died there was uncertainty as to who would lead the country. The four main people involved were Leon Trotsky, Grigory Zinoviev, Nikolai Bukharin and Joseph Stalin. Stalin allied himself with Zinoviev and ousted Trotsky. Then he allied himself with Bukharin and ousted Zinoviev. By this time Bukharin realized he had been duped by Stalin and that he, Bukharin had no power base. Stalin was able to seize control of Central Committee and have full power to rule.

The revolution was unusual for the surprise it created throughout the world

hi'a clergy have had a significant influence on some Iranians, who have tended to be religious, traditional, and alienated from any process of Westernization. The clergy first showed themselves to be a powerful political force in opposition to Iran's monarch with the 1891 tobacco protest boycott that effectively destroyed an unpopular concession granted by the Shah giving a British company a monopoly over buying and selling Tobacco in Iran.

Shah Pahlavi maintained a close relationship with the US government, both regimes sharing a fear of/opposition to the expansion of Soviet state, Iran's powerful northern neighbor.

In 1977 the Shah responded to the "polite reminder" of the importance of political rights by the new American President, Jimmy Carter, by granting amnesty to some prisoners and allowing the Red Cross to visit prisons. Through 1977 liberal opposition formed organizations and issued open letters denouncing the regime.

The leader of the Iranian revolution - Shia cleric Ayatolah Ruhollah Khomeini - first came to political prominence in 1963 when he led opposition to the Shah and his "white revolution, a program of reforms to break up landholdings (including those owned by religious foundations), grant women the right to vote and equality in marriage, and allow religious minorities to hold government office.

Vladimir Lenin started the New Economic Policy in an attempt to improve the Soviet economy.

Because the Germans knew Lenin would bring about a Communist revolution in Russia, thereby eliminating Russia as an immediate threat in the war, and allowing Germany to focus its war efforts on only one front.

It ended in 1919.

Unless a nation is "cornered" where if it doesn't fight it gets slaughtered, then any war can be avoided. The definition of war (other than being cornered) is the obtaining of a political goal by other than political means.

Lenin represented the Bolsheviks. After they succeeded in the Revolution, they changed their name to Communists.

Vladimir Lenin led the Bolsheviks, the group that gained control of the Provisional Russian government in 1917.

If one goes by the Julian calendar then in use in Russia, Vladimir Lenin and his Bolsheviks were leading Russia in March 1917.

If one goes by the Gregorian calendar then in use by the western world, the Provisional Government under Alexander Kerensky was leading Russia in the beginning of March 1917 then Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks did.

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The USSR was the whole thing, including Russia. Kazakhstan was the next largest after Russia.
