The document discusses the financial difficulties faced by the French government in the 18th century due to its increasing debt and interest payments. It was forced to raise taxes to pay for expenses like maintaining an army and government offices. However, taxes could not be raised enough as only members of the third estate paid taxes under the system of three estates. The document also discusses the abolition of slavery in French colonies and some rights put forth in Olympe de Gouges' Declaration of the Rights of Woman and Citizen. Key dates in the Russian revolutionary period and excerpts from various sources on life in Russia during this time are also presented.

A fun, definitely not serious at all look at our bei Nicky's well successful(not) rule of Russia
WARNING: Contains expletives at times, but only in jest
The document provides background information on Russia under Tsar Nicholas II in 1900. It describes the Russian Empire as consisting of over 125 million people from many different ethnic groups ruled over by the autocratic Tsar. It outlines the various social classes and political opposition groups that existed, as well as events like the 1905 revolution that challenged Tsarist rule.
The document summarizes the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917. It discusses the influence of liberal and radical ideas from the French Revolution. The rise of industrialization led to many social changes and new socialist ideas emerged. World War I exacerbated Russia's existing problems and caused widespread discontent among workers and peasants. This led to the overthrow of the Tsar in March 1917 and the establishment of a provisional government. However, Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks gained popularity by advocating to withdraw from the war. They launched the November Revolution and established the world's first communist state.
Vladimir Lenin led the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917, overthrowing the czarist government and establishing the Soviet Union. After Lenin's death in 1924, Joseph Stalin rose to power and established a totalitarian dictatorship, instituting policies like collectivization of agriculture, rapid industrialization through Five Year Plans, and the Great Purge which eliminated political opponents. Stalin's rule had both positive impacts like modernizing Soviet industry and infrastructure, but also had tremendously negative consequences with human and economic costs, like the famine caused by collectivization and mass executions during the Great Purge.
There were several factors that led to the Communist revolution in Russia in 1917. The country was weakened by failures in World War I and unrest had been growing for years among workers and peasants due to harsh conditions, low pay, and a lack of political freedom under the absolute rule of Czar Nicholas II. When public uprisings broke out in early 1917, Lenin and the Bolsheviks seized the opportunity to take power for themselves and establish the Soviet Union.
The document summarizes several key factors that led to the Communist revolution in Russia in 1917:
1) Tsar Nicholas II was a weak ruler who used his secret police to oppress opponents while Russia remained economically backward. 2) Workers lived in poor conditions and faced low pay and repression of strikes. 3) Peasants remained in poverty after emancipation from serfdom in 1861. 4) Russia's failures and losses in World War I undermined support for the monarchy. 5) The February Revolution in 1917 overthrew the Tsar, but Lenin then seized power in the October Revolution.
The document discusses the economy, society and the rise of socialism in pre-revolutionary Russia. It describes how most Russians were agricultural workers and industries were privately owned. Political parties were banned until 1900 when the Russian Socialist Democratic Labour Party was formed to advocate for peasant rights over land. The 1905 revolution saw demands for a constitution in response to rising costs and a bloody crackdown. World War I devastated Russia's armies and economy, leading to further unrest and the February 1917 revolution in Petrograd that overthrew the Tsar. In October 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power in the October Revolution, nationalized industries and redistributed land, leading to a civil war against opposing forces. Under Stalin, collectivization further consolidated farming into collective
The document summarizes several key factors that led to the Communist revolution in Russia in 1917:
1) Tsar Nicholas II was a weak ruler who used his secret police to oppress opponents while Russia remained economically backward, fueling widespread discontent among peasants and workers.
2) Russia's involvement in World War I was disastrous and further weakened the Tsar's grip on power as the army suffered defeats and unrest grew.
3) Lenin and the Bolsheviks opposed the Tsar and took advantage of the revolutionary situation in 1917 to seize power, establishing a Communist dictatorship and beginning efforts to consolidate control through the civil war and policies like the Cheka secret police.

Revision Russian Tsars Alexander II and III, Nicholas IIKari Robertson
This document discusses the decline of imperial power in Tsarist Russia and the emergence of the Soviet state between 1855 and 1905. It analyzes factors such as ethnic and religious diversity, the Russian economy, autocracy under the royal family, and changes in Russian society. Key events explored include the Crimean War, emancipation of serfdom, and assassination of Tsar Alexander II. Growing opposition to the ruling Romanov dynasty stemmed from liberal reforms, the influence of new literature, and rise of revolutionary groups like the Narodniks.
1. After the October Revolution, the Soviet government introduced centralised economic planning, nationalized industries and banks, and collectivized agriculture into large state farms.
2. Under Stalin's rule, the Soviet Union rapidly industrialized through five-year economic plans but this caused poor working conditions, and the forced collectivization of agriculture led to famine and death for millions of peasants.
3. The Russian Revolution inspired communist and socialist movements worldwide and established the Soviet Union as a global superpower, though its international reputation declined later in the 20th century.
The Russian Revolution began in March 1917 and led to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II. A provisional government took over but faced challenges from the Bolsheviks. In November 1917, the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, seized power in the "October Revolution", establishing the Soviet socialist republic and beginning a civil war. Lenin consolidated power as head of the Communist Party and worked to transform Russia into a socialist state.
The document summarizes the political and economic situation in tsarist Russia prior to the revolutions of 1917. It describes how Russia was an absolute monarchy ruled by the Tsar, with limited rights and political repression. Economically it was a semi-feudal system with an impoverished peasant majority. Dissatisfaction grew due to Russia's involvement in World War 1, leading to the February Revolution of 1917 which overthrew the Tsar. In October, the Bolsheviks seized power in the October Revolution, establishing Soviet rule and beginning the process of communist rule in Russia.
The document summarizes the key events and figures of the Russian Revolution from 1905-1917.

The US, Russia, China Triangle and the Fall of the Soviet Unioniakovosal
The geopolitical landscape was changing as China moved closer to the USA and away from the Soviet Union starting in 1979, while Europe moved closer to Russia. This was due to the USA investing in China to pull it away from the Soviets and benefit from cheap Chinese labor, while Russia saw breaking up the Soviet Union as a way to export oil and gas to Europe to increase Russian influence there. The breakup was orchestrated by the KGB to allow Russian oil and gas exports for revenue and influence, as the KGB controlled the Soviet economy and promoted reformer Mikhail Gorbachev as Soviet leader to dismantle the USSR.
The revolutions of 1848 saw widespread uprisings across Europe in response to social and economic tensions. In France, the February Revolution overthrew the monarchy and established the Second Republic. However, the new government struggled with internal divisions and was unable to address workers' demands, leading to further unrest. Across Central Europe, revolutions broke out in states like Germany and the Austrian Empire, but conservative forces were ultimately able to regain control with military force. While the revolutions initially failed in their goals, they did create lasting changes to political and social structures.

Socialism in europe and the russian revolutionUshaJoy
The document provides background information on socialism in Europe and the Russian Revolution. It discusses the rise of liberal, radical, and conservative political factions in Europe in response to the French Revolution. It also describes the growth of socialist ideology and parties in Europe in the late 19th century, influenced by the ideas of Karl Marx. Finally, it outlines the economic, social, and political conditions in the Russian Empire prior to the revolutions of 1917, including unrest during World War I that ultimately led to the fall of the monarchy and rise of socialist rule.
Socialist ideas spread throughout Europe in the late 19th century as workers organized and demanded better living and working conditions. In Russia, peasants wanted the lands owned by nobles to be redistributed to them, and political unrest grew. The harsh conditions of World War I led to the February Revolution of 1917 that overthrew the tsar. However, unrest continued and Vladimir Lenin led the Bolsheviks to seize power in October 1917, nationalizing private property and industry and establishing a one-party communist state in Russia.
The document discusses the impact of the French Revolution and the spread of new ideas about individual rights and social power. It led to varied responses across Europe, with some wanting gradual change and others desiring a radical restructuring of society. There emerged three main groups - conservatives who wanted to preserve the status quo, liberals who favored limited reforms, and radicals who pushed for widespread changes to society. The document examines the political divisions that arose in the aftermath of the French Revolution across Europe regarding approaches to social and political transformation.
The Russian Revolution of 1917 was a major turning point in Russian history that drastically altered the country's political and economic direction. It consisted of two revolutions - the February Revolution which overthrew the Tsar and established a provisional government, and the October Revolution in which the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, seized power. The revolutions were caused by growing unrest over factors like poor living conditions, the stresses of World War I, and dissatisfaction with the limitations of the provisional government. The Russian Revolution had widespread international impacts and established the Soviet Union as the world's first communist state.

The document provides answers to various social and political questions related to Russia in the early 20th century. It discusses key events and individuals involved in the Russian Revolution of 1917 such as Lenin and the Bolsheviks overthrowing the Provisional Government. It also describes the poor economic and social conditions faced by peasants, workers and women that contributed to unrest, as well as the impact of Russia's involvement in World War 1. The document outlines the views of socialists and liberals in Russia and different perspectives on issues like private property.
The document summarizes the rise of communism in Russia from 1900 to 1940. It describes key aspects of communist ideology like public ownership and equal distribution of resources. It then discusses several factors that led to the communist revolution in Russia in 1917, including the weakness and undemocratic rule of Czar Nicholas II, poor working conditions and low pay for industrial workers, and widespread discontent among peasants. Finally, it notes that while communism aimed to create equality and fairness, it has never worked successfully in practice due to human greed and corruption.
Joseph Stalin consolidated power in the Soviet Union following Vladimir Lenin's death in 1924. As leader, Stalin instituted radical economic policies including rapid industrialization and the collectivization of agriculture. This modernization had great success but was also extremely brutal, resulting in millions of deaths. Stalin ruled with an iron fist and purged perceived political opponents through executions and the Gulag system of forced labor camps. While Stalin cultivated a cult of personality, his totalitarian regime was criticized after his death in 1953.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
5. Lenders who gave the state credit, now began to charge 10 per cent interest on loans. So the French government was obliged
to spend an increasing percentage of its budget on interest payments alone. To meet its regular expenses, such as the cost
of maintaining an army, the court, running government offices or universities, the state was forced to increase taxes. Yet
even this measure would not have sufficed. French society in the eighteenth century was divided into three estates, and only
members of the third estate paid taxes.
8. The revolutionary journalist Jean-Paul Marat commented in his newspaper
L’Ami du peuple (The friend of the people) on the Constitution drafted by
the National Assembly: ‘The task of representing the people has been given to
the rich … the lot of the poor and oppressed will never be improved by
peaceful means alone. Here we have absolute proof of how wealth influences
the law. Yet laws will last only as long as the people agree to obey them. And
when they have managed to cast off the yoke of the aristocrats, they will do
the same to the other owners of wealth.’ Source: An extract from the
newspaper L’Ami du peuple

12. The Abolition of Slavery The Abolition of Slavery
One of the most revolutionary social reforms of the Jacobin regime was the abolition of slavery in the French
colonies. The colonies in the Caribbean – Martinique, Guadeloupe and San Domingo – were important suppliers of
commodities such as tobacco, indigo, sugar and coffee. But the reluctance of Europeans to go and work in distant
and unfamiliar lands meant a shortage of labour on the plantations. So this was met by a triangular slave trade
between Europe, Africa and the Americas. The slave trade began in the seventeenth century. French merchants
sailed from the ports of Bordeaux or Nantes to the African coast, where they bought slaves from local chieftains.
Branded and shackled, the slaves were packed tightly into ships for the three-month long voyage across the Atlantic
to the Caribbean. There they were sold to plantation owners. The exploitation of slave labour made it possible to
meet the growing demand in European markets for sugar, coffee, and indigo. Port cities like Bordeaux and Nantes
owed their economic prosperity to the flourishing slave trade
13. Some of the basic rights set forth in Olympe de Gouges’
Declaration. 1. Woman is born free and remains equal to man in rights. 2. The goal of all political associations
is the preservation of the natural rights of woman and man: These rights are liberty, property, security, and
above all resistance to oppression. 3. The source of all sovereignty resides in the nation, which is nothing but
the union of woman and man. 4. The law should be the expression of the general will; all female and male
citizens should have a say either personally or by their representatives in its formulation; it should be the
same for all. All female and male citizens are equally entitled to all honours and public employment
according to their abilities and without any other distinction than that of their talents. 5. No woman is an
exception; she is accused, arrested, and detained in cases determined by law. Women, like men, obey this
rigorous law.

Alexander Shlyapnikov, a socialist worker of the time, gives us a description of how the meetings were organised:
ëPropaganda was done in the plants and shops on an individual basis. There were also discussion circles Ö Legal
meetings took place on matters concerning [official issues], but this activity was skilfully integrated into the general
struggle for the liberation of the working class. Illegal meetings were Ö arranged on the spur of the moment but in an
organised way during lunch, in evening break, in front of the exit, in the yard or, in establishments with several floors,
on the stairs. The most alert workers would form a ìplugî in the doorway, and the whole mass piled up in the exit. An
agitator would get up right there on the spot. Management would contact the police on the telephone, but the speeches
would have already been made and the necessary decision taken by the time they arrived ...í Alexander Shlyapnikov,

Dreams and Realities of a Soviet Childhood in 1933
Dear grandfather Kalinin Ö My family is large, there are four children. We donít have a father ñ he died, fighting
for the workerís cause, and my mother Ö is ailing Ö I want to study very much, but I cannot go to school. I had
some old boots, but they are completely torn and no one can mend them. My mother is sick, we have no money
and no bread, but I want to study very much. Öthere stands before us the task of studying, studying and
studying. That is what Vladimir Ilich Lenin said. But I have to stop going to school. We have no relatives and there
is no one to help us, so I have to go to work in a factory, to prevent the family from starving. Dear grandfather, I
am 13, I study well and have no bad reports. I am in Class 5 Ö Letter of 1933 from a 13-year-old worker to Kalinin,

An Indian arrives in Soviet Russia in 1920
ëFor the first time in our lives, we were seeing Europeans mixing freely with Asians. On seeing the Russians mingling
freely with the rest of the people of the country we were convinced that we had come to a land of real equality. We saw
freedom in its true light. In spite of their poverty, imposed by the counter-revolutionaries and the imperialists, the
people were more jovial and satisfied than ever before. The revolution had instilled confidence and fearlessness in
them. The real brotherhood of mankind would be seen here among these people of fifty different nationalities. No
barriers of caste or religion hindered them from mixing freely with one another. Every soul was transformed into an
orator. One could see a worker, a peasant or a soldier haranguing like a professional lecturer.í Shaukat Usmani,

Rabindranath Tagore wrote from Russia in 1930
ëMoscow appears much less clean than the other European capitals. None of those hurrying along the streets
look smart. The whole place belongs to the workers Ö Here the masses have not in the least been put in the
shade by the gentlemen Ö those who lived in the background for ages have come forward in the open today
Ö I thought of the peasants and workers in my own country. It all seemed like the work of the Genii in the
Arabian Nights. [here] only a decade ago they were as illiterate, helpless and hungry as our own masses Ö
Who could be more astonished than an unfortunate Indian like myself to see how they had removed the
mountain of ignorance and helplessness in these few yearsí.

27. SOME BOX INFORMATIONS
Box 1
Activity striking workers had gathered to form a ësovietí or ëcouncilí in the same building as the Duma met. This was the Petrograd
Soviet. The very next day, a delegation went to see the Tsar. Military commanders advised him to abdicate. He followed their advice
and abdicated on 2 March. Soviet leaders and Duma leaders formed a Provisional Government to run the country. Russiaís future
would be decided by a constituent assembly, elected on the basis of universal adult suffrage. Petrograd had led the February
Revolution that brought down the monarchy in February 1917. Women in the February Revolution ‘Women workers, often ... inspired
their male co-workers … At the Lorenz telephone factory, … Marfa Vasileva almost single handedly called a successful strike. Already
that morning, in celebration of Women’s Day, women workers had presented red bows to the men … Then Marfa Vasileva, a milling
machine operator stopped work and declared an impromptu strike. The workers on the floor were ready to support her … The foreman
informed the management and sent her a loaf of bread. She took the bread but refused to go back to work. The administrator asked
her again why she refused to work and she replied, “I cannot be the only one who is satiated when others are hungry”. Women workers
from another section of the factory gathered around Marfa in support and gradually all the other women ceased working. Soon the
men downed their tools as well and the entire crowd rushed onto the street.’ From: Choi Chatterji, Celebrating Women (2002).
28. Date of the Russian Revolution Russia followed the Julian calendar
until 1 February 1918. The country then changed to the Gregorian calendar, which is followed everywhere today.
The Gregorian dates are 13 days ahead of the Julian dates. So by our calendar, the ëFebruaryí Revolution took
place on 12th March and the ëOctoberí Revolution took place on 7th November.

Activity The October Revolution and the Russian Countryside:
Two Views ëNews of the revolutionary uprising of October 25, 1917, reached the village the following day and was greeted with
enthusiasm; to the peasants it meant free land and an end to the war. ...The day the news arrived, the landownerís manor house
was looted, his stock farms were ìrequisitionedî and his vast orchard was cut down and sold to the peasants for wood; all his far
buildings were torn down and left in ruins while the land was distributed among the peasants who were prepared to live the new
Soviet lifeí. From: Fedor Belov, The History of a Soviet Collective Farm
29. A member of a landowning family wrote to a relative about what happened at the estate: ëThe ìcoupî happened quite
painlessly, quietly and peacefully. ÖThe first days were unbearable.. Mikhail Mikhailovich [the estate owner] was
calm...The girls alsoÖI must say the chairman behaves correctly and even politely. We were left two cows and two
horses. The servants tell them all the time not to bother us. ìLet them live. We vouch for their safety and property. We
want them treated as humanely as possibleÖ.î ÖThere are rumours that several villages are trying to evict the
committees and return the estate to Mikhail Mikhailovich. I donít know if this will happen, or if itís good for us. But
we rejoice that there is a conscience in our people...í From: Serge Schmemann, Echoes of a Native Land. Two
Centuries of a Russian Village (1997).
Socialist Cultivation in a Village in the Ukraine ëA commune was set up using two [confiscated] farms as a base. The commune
consisted of thirteen families with a total of seventy persons Ö The farm tools taken from the Ö farms were turned over to the
commune ÖThe members ate in a communal dining hall and income was divided in accordance with the principles of
ìcooperative communismî. The entire proceeds of the membersí labor, as well as all dwellings and facilities belonging to the
commune were shared by the commune members.í Fedor Belov, The History of a Soviet Collective Farm (1955).
