5. Let’s Recap Day 2
We saw the pros and cons for each key
player in the War.
We saw how the US got involved
because of the Lusitania and
Zimmerman Note.
We saw the repercussions Germany
faced at the end and we examined some
of the effects of the war as well.
6. Today’s Lecture
Today we will be taking a closer look at
the Russian Revolution. We will learn
about the Tzar’s, the Bolsheviks and the
impacts of World War I.
We look at the 5-year Plan, collective
farming and the Ukrainian Genocide.
Let’s begin…

to change the bad working
conditions from the Industrial
Revolution in Russia.

Bolsheviks.

22. Communist Revolution
1. In 1918, the Bolsheviks changed
their name to the Communist Party
and Russia to the Soviet
Union/USSR.
2. Lenin took control of the factories
and gave the power to the workers.
3. Farmland was given to the peasants.
23.
24. Joseph Stalin
1. He was the Communist leader after
Lenin. Known as “The Man of Steel”
2. Totalitarianism - government that
takes total control of everything
including public and private.
3. Great Purge – in 1934 Stalin arrests
thousands of people he doesn’t like;
they are killed or sent to work camps.
26. 5 - Year Plan
1. Set impossibly high goals for the
output of steel, coal, oil and
electricity
2. Gov’t didn’t give people housing,
food, clothing or other goods to
reach these goals.
27. 3. The Soviet Union didn’t
achieve their goals, but
made huge gains in the
economy, defense and
industry.
31. Collective Farms
1. 1928 the gov’t seized 25 million
privately owned farms and combined
them into large gov’t owned farms.
2. Families were forced to work on these
farms.
3. When people protested, they were
killed.
4. Produced twice the wheat than before.
32. Ukrainian Genocide
1. 1932-1933 famine created by the Communist Party to
try & control and undermine that Ukrainian people.
2. Soviet police confiscated all property (including food
and livestock) and the money went to fund the 5-Year
Plan; those who resisted were shot or deported to
Siberia.
3. 10 million+ people died as a result of executions,
deportation and starvation.
4. Today, Russia does NOT acknowledge this as a
genocide.
35. Eye Witness Accounts
“Our father used to read the Bible to us, but whenever he
came to the passage mentioning ‘bloodless war’ he could
not explain to us what that term meant. When in 1933 he
was dying from hunger he called us to his deathbed and
said ‘This, children, is what is called bloodless war...’”
"What I saw that morning ... was inexpressibly horrible. On
a battlefield men die quickly, they fight back ... Here I saw
people dying in solitude by slow degrees, dying hideously,
without the excuse of sacrifice for a cause. They had been
trapped and left to starve, each in his own home, by a
political decision made in a far-off capital around
conference and banquet tables. There was not even the
consolation of inevitability to relieve the horror."
