By comparing the key events in terms of opposition like the Assassination of Alexander II in 1881, Blood Sunday and the October manifesto in 1905, the February and October revolution in 1917, and how effectively they were dealt with, then we can come to a judgment on the argument. Stalin’s most intense opposition came at the beginning of his quest to becoming ruler to Russia from 1924 to 1929. Before Lenin passed away from his stroke he had left a testament stating that Stalin was dangerous and should be dismissed also he had chosen Trotsky the leader of Red army as his successor. Stalin was given the position of General sectary of the communist party in 1922 which everyone associated as a dull and unimportant Job. However he managed to manipulate the leftists Zinoviev and Kamenev in the politburo into covering up Lenin’s

Revolutionary Leadership USSR 1924 – 1957 What methods of control did Stalin use during the 1930's? How did these methods During the 1930's, Joseph Stalin used many brutal but effective methods of control to gain a hold on the USSR and keep his power. “To gain a victory and be feared was a triumph for him.” (Joseph Iremashvilli, on Stalin) These methods affected the Soviet Union in many ways. Such as a rapid decrease in living standards, famines resulting in countless orphaned children, and the Gulag system of forced Labour camps. Stalin and his associates in the Politburo and the NKVD influenced the Soviet people with these methods so much that in some cases the lowest class of people would exclaim statements like: “When the woman I love gives me a child, the first word I will teach it shall be 'Stalin'” (A.O.
The reason Miller chose the subject of false accusation is most likely because the people of his generation accused him of involvement with the Communist party which was analogous to what witchcraft would have been in the late seventeenth century. Based entirely on the Salem witch trials, The Crucible does a superb job of turning that devastating time period into an entertaining yet tragic play. Arthur Miller, born on October 17, 1915, in New York City, was a famous American playwright who composed many literary masterpieces. Born into a wealthy family, Miller was accustomed to having whatever he desired, that is, until the Great Depression caused his family to go bankrupt. During this time of uncertainty, Miller worked several jobs to earn enough money to pay for his college.

Lee Harvey Oswald's motive was apparent but not the best and his opportunity was also very limited. Other suspects include the Mafia and Lyndon Baines Johnson, whose motives were sufficient and strong and their opportunity was ample. JFK's assassination was carried out by the mafia, organised by Lyndon Baines Johnson, and the blame was placed on Lee Harvey Oswald. Amidst the many suspects Lee Harvey Oswald had weak and limited motives to kill president Kennedy. Oswald had strong communist tendencies proclaiming himself a "Marxist" in an interview with a woman reporter named Aline Mosby in the city of Moscow in 1959 and formed a 'Fair Play For Cuba Committee' and handed out flyers showing that he really was for Cuba and against

The message of this cartoon is that the Tsar relies on repression to subdue any challenge to his autocratic authority. This was published illegally in the aftermath of the 1905 revolution, an event which is portrayed by the numerous dead bodies. The cartoon is titled ‘peace and quiet’ which is a dark suggestion that order has been restored at the cost of many lives. The skeleton dressed in military attire, in the form of a Kosak, suggests that the Tsars mean to bring death, indicated by the brandishing if the sword and the gun. This image is reminiscent of one of the 7 horses of the apocalypse, linking autocracy with doom and death.

Restate thesis The last reformer of the Russian royal crown, Alexander was a key factor in the coming years, especially in the events leading up to the October Revolution. He is a man whose history is controversial, whether he is seen as a great liberator of Russia and a great reformer, or of an evil tyrant whose actions sped the October Revolution. Both are true and false in their own right, but the truth is in neither of these statements. Alexander II was a moderate reformer whose assassination ended reform in Russia.
Russian revolutionary and politician; successor to Lenin as ruler of the Soviet Union and head of the Communist Party (1929 to 1953) One of the bloodiest despots in modern history, Joseph Stalin helped transform the Soviet Union into a military and industrial superpower, but at a staggering cost in human lives and suffering. In the words of scholar Stephen Cohen, Stalin's rule was a "holocaust by terror" that "victimized tens of millions of people for twenty-five years." Stalin was born Iosif Vissioronovich Djugashvili on December 21, 1879, in the Georgian village of Gori. The son of a poor shoemaker, Iosif became a professional revolutionary and at age thirty-four adopted the political name of Stalin, meaning "man of steel." A member
