  1. Revolt in Russia By: Breanna Trout

  2. Vocab(: • Totalitarian State: One-Party dictatorship attempts to regulate ever aspect of the lives of its citizens. • Socialist Realism: A goal to boost socialism by showing Soviet life in a positive light.

  3. Life in a Totalitarian State • Stalin tried to boost the faith and morale upon the communist system by making himself extra amazing. • The “Cult of Personality” was another way that he made himself more powerful.

  4. An “Iron age” of Totalitarian Control • A man names Marx said that within the Communism, the state would die away, and have no more left. • He turned the Soviet Union into a totalitarian state. • To keep the people of Russia in order, Stalin ordered for there to be Secret Police, censorship, and fear (terror]. They had secret listening devices. • With those, many “Grumblers” got sent to harsh slavery plants. • Electronics, such as radios, and loud speakers were being used all over. In schools, movie theaters, and factories. • A 14-year old boy got a sculpture for turning his father over to Satlin. • Marx began atheism, and it was began to be an order for the state. Any other religion would be tortured, and punished. • The writtings by Marx and Lenin were called “sacred Writtings”

  5. Changes in soviet society • Communists changed the way that Russian’s lived. • Social classes were changed, but not as promised, some classed emerged as new ruling classes. • The highest ranking people were of the Communist group, and not many of the Soviet people. • The Soviet elite consisted of: Industrial leaders, military leaders, and not many artists and writers. • They got many joys in life, such as the best apartments and were granted special shops to shop at. • Education was free to everybody, along with housing and transportation. • Living standards still remained low for many. • Before 1917, many women fought for the revolution, like spreading ideas among the lower class people. Because of that, they were granted Education rights.

  6. The art and the state • The Bolshevilk Revolution was first meant for the Russian writers and artists. They experienced new ways to paint and write. • The Will of the people were strong, and great full. • Stalin forced the people to write and paint about “social realism.” • The most popular ideas for the paintings were peasants, workers, and heroes. • The government controlled what was seen, heard, and published. • A Jewish poet was thrown in jail, and tortured. • A Poet names Anna Akhmatova, sided with the Jew, because it did not stress Communism, and because she was not granted the right to see her son in jail. • There were many secerative writers.

  7. Looking ahead • By the time that Stalin died in 1953, the Soviet Union was the leader in heavy industry. • Eastern Europe was also in turmoil and hardship in the 1920’s and the 1930’s.
