6 Bennifield 6 This is the short version.

7 For many years before World War I, Russian citizens had suffered under the rule of Tsar Nicholas II.

8 The ruling class held the country s wealth, and the peasants barely had enough food to eat.

9 Russia fought on the side of the Allies in World War I and suffered terrible losses.

10 By 1917, Russians were tired of food shortages, shivering from coal shortages, and exhausted by war.

11 Workers united against the Russian ruler, overthrew the monarchy, and killed Nicholas and his family.

12 This is known as the Russian Revolution.

13 1. Russian citizens were happy and wealthy under Tsar Nicholas II. 2. Russia suffered terrible losses after WWI and the people were tired of being hungry, cold, and ravaged by war. 3. Russia fought on the side of the Central Powers during WWI. 4. The Russian monarchy was overthrown in the Russian Revolution. 5. The Bolshevik, or Communist Party, took over after the Russian Revolution.

14 Bennifield 14 This is the looong version.

16 The Russian Revolution

17 What was the Russian Revolution? The revolution in the Russian empire in 1917, in which the Russian monarchy (Czarist regime) was overthrown resulting in the formation of the world s first communist government.

18 Czar Nicholas II The Last Czar of Russia Descendant of the Russian Romanovs. Absolute ruler with unlimited powers-ruled alone and unquestioned. Weak personality. Ignored the needs of his people. Czarina Alexandra, wife of Nicholas II was German. Both were very unpopular.

19

20 RUSSIA BEFORE THE REVOLUTION The People Majority of the Russians were peasants or factory workers. Most peasants did not own the land they farmed. Factory workers had to endure long hours, low pay, and horrible working conditions. About 80% of Russians were poor.

21 The Economy Economy was based on agriculture. Russia was not as industrialized as the rest of Europe. Russia s war with Japan had devastated Russia s economy. Food prices went up, but the wages remained the same. Many people were starving.

22 Bloody Sunday The Path to the Revolution

23 1905 BLOODY SUNDAY What happened? Sunday, 22nd January, 1905 On a Sunday afternoon, a large group of over 200,000 unarmed workers, their families, and supporters along with Father Gapon, a Russian priest led a peaceful demonstration in St. Petersburg. Demonstrators wanted to present a petition to the Czar regarding better working conditions, more wages, and freedom. The unarmed demonstrators were shot by the Czar's troops. Many innocent people were killed.

24 Bloody Sunday sparked several protests and strikes by the Russian people. The Czar was forced to create the Duma-the Russian Parliament. Nothing really changed, Nicholas kept power and if members of the Duma disagreed with the Czar they were sent away

25 1914: The Effects of World War I Russia entered World War I and did not do well Millions of soldiers were killed, wounded, or missing, people suffered severe food shortages, Soldiers did not have enough clothes, shoes, or weapons. Czar Ivan still treated his people poorly!

26 Bennifield 26 Fast forward to 1917

27 The Revolution Begins BIG ISSUE: People are hungry, poor keeps getting poorer (uneven distribution of wealth) On February 28, 1917, Czar Nicholas is forced to give up the throne. A provisional (temporary) government takes over. THE PROBLEM: Provisional government supports the war. Peasants are still without land.

28 The Revolution In 1922, Vladimir Lenin promised the peasants Peace, Land, Bread! Bolsheviks gain support from peasants with promise of land. Lenin led the Bolshevik Party who then pushed the temporary gov t aside and took control of Russiashed e. The Bolshevik Party took over will be later named The Russian Communist Party. of the Soviet Union.

29 Bennifield 29 What does Lenin do when he comes to power?

30 Lenin redistributes land to the peasants. Where did Lenin get the land from?

31 In 1922, Lenin reorganized the country and named it the Soviet Union

32 In 1918, Lenin officially pulls Russia out of WWI. Note: Russia stopped fighting in1917

33 In 1918 Bolsheviks order the deaths of Nicholas II and his family.

34 RISE OF COMMUNISM Bennifield 34

35 Why Communism? A theory that says the government should own the farms and factories for the benefit of all the citizens Everyone should share the work equally and receive an equal share of the rewards *Appealed greatly to many Russians (split between rich and poor) *Lenin promised that communism would bring fairness and equality to ALL Russians

36 Lenin Brings Communism to Russia 1922: Lenin reorganized the country and named it the Soviet Union Joined Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, & Ukraine

37 Communism is the theory that all people should be equal and there should be no classes. Everyone should work for the good of the country and wealth would be equally shared amongst all citizens.

38 By 1923 all areas of Russia came under communist control and is renamed the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
