5 Key Events in Soviet History 1917 Bolshevik Revolution turns Russia Communist (forces Russia out of WWI) Russian Civil War = fight between those who wanted to keep a monarchy {Mensheviks} and those that wanted communism {Bolsheviks} after a brutal civil war, communism wins. 5

6 Left = father of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Illych Lenin {died in 1924} Right = Josef Stalin 6

7 Soviet Premier Josef Stalin Came to power in 1924, after Lenin died. Real name = Josef Djugashvili. Took name Stalin which means man of steel. Nickname = Koba ( the indomitable ) Initially wanted to be a priest. Expelled from seminary at age 20 for reading radical literature. Before becoming premier he was frequently jailed & was exiled to Siberia 6 times! 7

8 Josef Stalin Face scarred from childhood smallpox. Short & stiffened left arm. 2 toes on left foot were joined together webbed. Crude manner. Came off as simplistic person. Could not speak effectively. Worked in his favor as Soviet citizens perceived him to be a common man - - like them. 8

9 Key Events Which Caused Many Soviets to Hate Communism and Josef Stalin ***Soviet Agricultural Collectivization, Goal was state control of agriculture so it could deliver more food for less money. Mass numbers of peasants were FORCED onto large state farms. The communist government forced them to leave their homes, land, and livestock without compensation! This created a rural civil war!! Peasants slaughtered livestock and burned grain rather than turn it over to the communist government. Food rationing cut the food intake by 2/3! Famine struck and more than 5 million starved!! 9

12 Russian Peasant 12

13 Key Events Which Caused Many Soviets to Hate Josef Stalin and Communism ***Stalin s Red Purges, plans for a military overthrow of the Soviet government were uncovered {unknown to Stalin, they were planted by the Nazis}. Stalin was a paranoid leader. He carried out a series of show trials, starting in These sent the message that the Soviets were under attack from the inside. Stalin purged: top communist party leaders who opposed Stalin in 1924 (when Lenin died), top officers in the Red Army, communist party members, ordinary citizens. Estimates say 8 million people were killed!!!!! Result = Red Army was greatly weakened. Officers would not act without approval from Stalin. Soviet government & Stalin hated by most. 13

14 Sergei Kirov, leader of the Leningrad Communist Party and top advisor to Stalin, was assassinated in Stalin used this as an excuse to start the Red Purges. At bottom is Stalin s favorite daughter, Svetlana. 14

15 Sergei Kirov, Stalin s righthand man and leader of the Leningrad Communist Party. Most feel that Stalin was behind his assassination. 15

16 Leon Trotsky Considered to be the brains behind the Bolshevik Revolution. Stalin forced him to flee from the Soviet Union. Stalin had the secret police searching for him. Found in Mexico City, slumped over his desk with an ice pick buried in the base of his skull! 16

22 Leningrad Moscow Central Route Stalingrad Caucasus Later Hitler changed his mind and sent them back into a central attack!! 22

23 Key Mistakes Leading to a German Loss in Russia: 1. Hitler delayed the start of the invasion from May 1, 1941 to June 22, 1941 to reinforce the Italians in N. Africa & Greece. This caused the Nazi military to get caught in winter weather!! 23

24 Key Mistakes Leading to a German Loss in Russia: 2. Hitler changed his strategy too often. {this wore out military equipment and soldiers!!} 24

25 Key Mistakes Leading to a German Loss in Russia: 3. Hitler s racial views. Many Soviet citizens hated Stalin and Communism and saw the Nazis as liberators. Many would have fought with the Nazis to defeat the Red Army. Hitler rounded them up and put them in concentration camps instead!!! 25
