Instead it proposed that socialism could be created even in an undeveloped country, and that Russia could and ultimately should focus on building socialism within itself. This idea would become a key of Stalin’s political beliefs and actions. By helping to support and promote this idea Bukharin aided Stalin in removing other key Bolsheviks from power, such as Trotsky

Stalin was courageous, rambunctious, bold, fierce, and determined. Stalin knew that in order to secure his place within the Bolsheviks, and move up the ranks, he needed to prove himself worthy to their cause. Stalin used these traits and put them to work gaining Lenin’s admiration. What Stalin really excelled in was organization, something that the early Bolshevik party desperately needed. While Stalin may not have been the most intelligent or the most the most “typical” candidate for acceleration

While in Siberia, he heard about a communist group formed by Lenin. Since he looked up to Lenin, he joined the group that supported him, the Bolsheviks. However, once Lenin resigned, Stalin became the leader of the communist group. This event is parallel to when Old

There are things that people get wrong about the Bolshevik revolution like who was in it, and what it was, and how it happened. First order of business is the who. Who was in it you might know. I am going to talk about the parties involved like the government and the factory workers and the peasants. There is one person in particular that may come to mind Lenin.

It will also try to determine if NEP could have remained a viable option for the economy long term. The New Economic Policy was in many ways a reactionary policy put forth because of

Revolution of 1917 in Russia saw the rise of the Bolsheviks to power where they dreamed of a utopian Russia, which would be achieved through the transformation of Soviet men and women. In particular, women were a major focus of the Bolsheviks utopian dream because they wanted to end the oppression of women and in doing, so they implemented many policies after the revolution in 1917 like the Zhenotdel that was a women’s section in the Bolshevik party made to advance women’s interests, the legalization

In his work The Bolshevik Revolution, Edward Carr expands through a detailed historical account how exactly it was that the Russian councils took power in October 1917. Sociological frameworks will also allow for a deeper understanding of the social unrest that led to the culmination of the October Revolution of 1917 and the unintended consequence of the bureaucratization of the state.
