Many men fell for this and in my opinion she became very powerful in a sense. I believe Cathy was a very selfish character. While reading East of Eden I thought that she might have had mental problems. I was furious that she tried to kill her baby and later on lied about why say tried to do such a thing. Then when she gave birth to her twins sons, she acted as if she did not want them and I believe that Cathy was selfish was because she shot her husband in the shoulder.
Stalin also used other people in his struggle for power. He joined forces with Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev to defeat Trotsky. Stalin, the Party Secretary, made sure all his supporters packed the congress. Trotsky lost the votes, along with his job as Commissar for the war.

Her broken-hearted husband shot himself” (Christie 70). Daisy was just an innocent three year old who was kidnapped and killed for money alone. Her death caused much commotion to all the people who new her; the closer they were to her, the more they suffered.

The Tsar lost popularity for many reasons between 1905 and 1914. Firstly, the 1905 revolution, where his men open fired at peaceful protesters, killing and wounding thousands. This lost him support from nearly the whole country, as he was blamed for his men killing the petitioners.

Trotsky recruited former officers of the tsarist’s army, he was brutal because he held their families hostage to ensure their loyalty. He stirred political speeches so he could eliminate any soldier who did not cohere with their beliefs, therefore providing a more unified army through brutality. Another form of force used was the Cheka, a political police force that engaged in terror tactics against all enemies of the Bolsheviks, it was introduced by Lenin to eliminate any political opposition. The Bolsheviks were brutal and executed those who resisted the communists in any way, e.g. refusal to join the red army or those who attempted to resist grain requisition.
