Communism which promotes the working or lower classes over the wealthy is popular among downtrodden people of all classes. The communist people of Russia had long suffered from the semi-feudal system that was extant in early 20th century Russia. Czar Nicholas was an absolute monarch and there were little if any human rights. As a result, an ideology promoting the underclass was a very easy sell.
They got screwed with communism
The first communist government was a result of the Bolshevic Revolution, which started in Petrograd, Russia on 7 November 1917.

Communism was stopped cold at the 38th Parallel. The communists knew it, the free world knew it. The Cold War continued until 1990; then it ended.
communism was not contained in Vietnam
what was a result of Stalin's attempt to promote communism
The result of Stalin's attempts to promote communism were pretty devastating. One result was the fear that was instilled in the people.
Communism collapsed because the system that was in place was totally corrupt. and as a result of this became unproductive Like a person a system needs to earn a living or steal it to survive. there was no drive to succeed as the system put power into the hands of thugs and bullys and they do not reward productive inventive poeple.
