Joseph Stalin and Totaliterianism


Totalitarianism is the state of government where the government holds complete control of the world. In this state of government, one person holds absolute power over the whole country and all the citizens.After Lenin's death in 1924, Joseph Stalin took over the power.In 1879 he adopted to the name Stalin, which stands for "Man of Steel." To some people Joseph Stalin is known as a great ruler and to others he is known as one of the most powerful and murderous dictators to ever live.The reason for that was because his rain of terror caused many to die. Over million deaths are on his name in Soviet Union.

Flim Lesson: Doctor Zhivago


This flim depict the Russian Revolution and shows what was going on during the time. Some of the reason for the Russian Revolution was becasuse they didnt like how the czar was treating them. The unfairnes of how the czar was treating the peasents they were shavrin and hurngy as they stand there in war. The Russian soliders deserted war and rebelled against Czar. They couldnt decide on going to war or not they had so many conflicts it caused them to make another war. A sign of communism in the movie is when people was in Zhivago house that he didnt know about to he got home. When you become a communism country you share everything equally.
