"Describe the challenges Lenin faced immediately after the Russia Civil War and the power struggle that existed after Lenin's death. In your opinion, did Stalin modernize Russia?" Lenin needed food to feed the people and money after the civil war. So he created the New Economic Plan. Which added bits of capitalism to in Russia's economy. The Five year plan was successful to jumpstart Russia's economy. After the civil war Lenin also wanted to spread the word of communism so he sent a type of missionary group of people out into the world. When Lenin died there was a viscous power struggle between Stain and Trotsky. Stain won because he controlled the media and propaganda. Then when Stain was in charge he rushed to modernize Russia by forcing tons of people to work in factor's to meet outrageous quota's and uniting all the farm land. He had mane people in his way rejecting and protesting his ideas. All those people were ether killed or sent in to labor camps. A lot like the concentration camps of WWII. Stalin did not modernize Russia he just tortured his own people.

The Fed/March revolution was to gain a provincial government where the Oct/November was to save communism and insure a communism government. The Fed/March revolution was bloodless and no one died, however the Oct/November revolution was very bloody and more than a million people died in it. blog. Enemy at the Gates, the movie we saw in class was an incredible peace of movie making art. It was fantastic, and exciting. It showed Stalingrad as it was then utterly destroyed, grey and horrible. This movie followed two snipers in there famous sniper battle in the ruins of Stalingrad. It is one of the many tails of Russia beating the Germans and pushing them back to where they came from. It showed the propaganda side of the war too. Russian propaganda showed their sniper and a god and the Nazi army as a bunch of pigs. Which in war would be a good motivator. To give the people hope as Commiar Danilov says. My only issue with this move is there are no Russia/German ascents or there are very little, but all in all very enjoyable movie. |
