  1. Education In Stalin’s Russia

  2. Education under Lenin All children in the USSR received 9 years of free, universal education under Lenin Lenin believed that it was impossible for education to remain ‘Politically neutral’ Students were ‘cleansed’ of ‘bourgeois’ ideas Schools were placed under the Commissariat for Enlightenment

  3. Changes from 1929 onwards Education under Stalin was controlled heavily by the CPSU. Textbooks were filled with endless propaganda, while abolishing entire branches of education. Scholars were accused of being bourgeois, and many were purged.

  4. Youth Organizations The Bolsheviks created 2 main youth organizations The Pioneers( Under 15 years of age) The Komsomols(14 to > 20 years of age) Both were used to take propaganda into the towns, reciting communist values to the working class

  5. The Cultural Revolution The Komsomols were instrumental to the Cultural Revolution. They were a very reliable workforce of the constructions of the industrial drive. They fulfilled duties such as: -imposing labour discipline -Lead campaigns against religion -Exposing official abuses -attacking non-party intellectuals (Teachers!)

  6. Reaction to the changes The young people were enthusiastic about spreading the communist values. Teachers and other positions of authority on the youth were undermined. Non- Party teachers were replaced with “red specialists” Many party members took technical college courses in order to be qualified as a “red specialist”
