His brother studied Chemistry at home, he did not come from a bad family at all his family in fact was a member of the intelligentsia in a very small town. The government at the time would do anything to prevent any sign of intervention. His brother Alexander joined a terrorist group, he has arrested after building a bomb meant for the Tsar this caused him to be hanged at 21. Previous summer Lenin's father has been shot, and his household became depressed. He was expelled from law school and he had begun to study works which inspired his brother (they contained images of a violent revolution in which young people need to improve themselves so that they can take care of Russia's future). His idea was that "The worst things are, the better things are". Lenin joined an underground group which distributed leaflets to workers in factories and listen to their complaints. The group was eventually arrested and Lenin was sent to prison he was then sentenced to a 3 year exile in Siberia, where he continued to write his revolutionary works. Lenin maintained his opinion that the revolution had to be sparked from top to down. In 1904 he dropped revolutionary life and wondered into the Swiss alpes. In january 1905 a march pushed things over the edge, without warning the Tsar's police opened fire and hundreds died in the street (Bloody Sunday). He published pamphlets how to kill policemen with specific instructions. He established a representatory council called the Duma. He became more ruthless as he deprived himself of most of the hobbies. In 1914 he alienated all of the Socialists and he lost almost all support. Meanwhile the first World War begun and Lenin wanted to make WW1 as a class conflict and saw it as an opportunity. loansforpeoplewithbadcredithistoryfast.co.uk War was deadly for the Russian's as they lost almost every battle, women were starving and people roamed around with guns causing the capital to be in chaos. Lenin had panicked when the Tsar abdicated and he was not there to direct the revolution.He claimed that the revolution has only begun after the Tsar abdicated. The provisional government continued the war with Germany however a disastrous battle in Austria caused rebellion from the soldiers. In 1917 he was at the lowpoint of his

She sat down next to me on my bed where i was fapping. With my penis still out, she started to have some sort of parental conversation with me.

Paper 2, Topic 3: **Rise and Rule of Single Party States**


 * __ I. Origins and Nature of Authoritarian and single-party states __**

**Lenin** decided to call elections in 1918he dissolved the constituent assembly calling a true democracy; he then expelled the opposition parties from the central committee. **Trotsky** agrees with him and the Bolsheviks were then renamed the communists while all other parties were banned.
 * conditions which produce single-party states
 * emergence of leader: aims, ideology, support
 * Lenin: ** argued for peace at any price, the communists needed to end the war in order not to end up like the Tsar and the provisional government.
 * Bukharin: ** thought that they should carry on with the revolution war in the name of socialism.
 * Trotsky: ** accepted a middle path meaning he wanted no peace and no war by holding negotiations for as long as possible.


 * Lenin: **came to power through his great organizational abilities and leadership skills he also had a strong personality. From Oct 1917- his stroke in 1923 he spent 16 hours a day running the Bolshevik government. He did have the talent that Trotsky did for using metaphors in his speeches however he did simplify the terms so that a common person could understand them. His attitude towards political views was "who is not with us is against us" and this prevailed throughout even his personal friendships. His ruthless side slowly shined through as he ordered the hanging of a hundred kulaks as a lesson to others.

· totalitarianism: the aim and the extent to which it was achieved

Th The White Army took arms against the Bolsheviks because they wanted to restore the monarchy and restart the war against Germany. Over all the Kolchack, Denikin and Yudentich took up arms against them.


 * __ II. Establishment of authoritarian and single-party states __**

Lenin: used force later on in his rule for example he hanged a hundred kulaks as a lesson to others. He was a great leader who was able to alone hold the Bolshevik party together, no one else in the party had the prestige and standing to see them through these difficult periods, he had great organizational skills and demonstrated in his management of the country during the War on Communism. He was flexible and pragmatic, finding solutions to the problems that arose when building a government from scratch in 1917-18. He was a great theorist as he adapted the Marxist theory in his developments. Lenin's idea was that "The worst things are, the better things are." Bolshevism is a Russian phenomenon some historians argue, he believed that short term misery was necessary for long term happiness.
 * methods: force, legal
 * form of government, ideology (left and right wing)

Russia cut a separate deal with Germany leaving the other countries whom they worked with out, Germany was their enemy.Lenin later used bloody methods to counter the opposition of Russia however he believed in getting away while the going is good.
 * nature, extent and treatment of opposition


 * __ III. Domestic Policies and Impact __**

· structure and organization of government and administration The country was so vast that when discussing military issues, they had to communicate via Paris. Lenin used the April Theses through despite much opposition from the party, it became the basis of party policy. He then pressurized the unwilling Bolshevik Central Committee into staging the October uprising. It is very likely if they hadn't done that when they did that the Bolsheviks would never come to power. Lenin insisted that the BOlsheviks rule as a one-party state, he forced this through against the opposition who wanted a socialist coalition. Then the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk which he pushed the signing of which meant that they had to have peace in order to survive. Finally he created a new economic policy which was very popular amongst the country and helped the economic situation quite a bit.

· political, economic, social & religious policies

Russia was left with a complete chaos; the production of industrial and agricultural goods has collapsed and the distribution of the remaining goods has stopped due to disruptions of transport routes. The communist wants to give the power to the working class, while the socialist wants to keep all the power to the state and the capitalist wants to give the power to the upcoming bourgeoisie class. Sailors were rising up in rebellion because the workers grew angry and hungry as they had to hand over all their grain to the government. Lenin decides to crush the rebels using the Red Army Troops soldiers are court-martially for refusing to fire on demonstrators.


 * Approach adopted / details of policy ||  Political Results  ||  Economic Results  ||
 * Lenin adopted the communist policy, which he called War Communism he took from the peasants the surplus grain to meet the requirements of the army. || The effect would be the revival of capitalism, || It made the peasants poor as they had to sell all of their grain without a profit and their profits declined. ||

· role of education, the arts, the media, propaganda Lenin used the propaganda after him being shot to show the country on camera how fine he was and he even showed the people where the bullets have hit him, this was a way to show what a strong leader he is and that he is fit enough to rule over Russia again.

· status of women, treatment of religious groups & minorities
