The Russian Revolution
World War I: triggered revolution
Death
Ill-equipped
Poorly led
Couldn't compete with Europe militarily
Destroyed economy
Scarcity of food
Tsar stepped down
The Soviets created Order No. 1
The military must follow them rather than the new government
Government was reorganized four times
Bolsheviks took power
Peasants were losing lands
Non-Russian people in Russian areas
The army didn't want to fight
Education
Before the revolution, 60% of people were illiterate
Lenin thought that education and literacy were crucial to the revolution
People wanted to learn and become educated
Free lectures
Art became public
Libraries increased
Everyone was equal
Followed through with it
They believed in it
Modern way of thinking
Development of mind and personality
Less about what you were born with and more about how you can develop (for example: handicap)
The revolution affects Russia today
Putin
Uses history to his advantage: sense of national destiny and unity
Brushes over bad history (makes everything seem good, even if it isn't)
Doesn't like revolutions
There are still places that embrace the revolution
Streets, squares, and statues
People ignore the revolution and talk about WWI
With Putin, many people don’t support revolutions
It seems like no one really knows about the Russian Revolution and what to think about it
