History of Russia

Khrushchev initially raised hopes of a better political and economic future for the USSR through his secret speech. His shocking condemnation of Stalin’s reign of terror and seemingly more liberal intentions of peaceful co-existence gave the impression of a new, markedly successful era for the USSR. However, these expectations were quickly dashed through a series of counterproductive and unsuccessful policies, most notably his grand but ill-fated agricultural schemes. Khrushchev displayd a…

system of classification was designed in order to meet the main points of the Federal Law “On basis of tourism activity in Russia”, the recommendations of WTO and foreign policy that was current that time. Getting a category has become virtually mandatory for all hotels which were used for serving The Olympics. And now there is the same system because of upcoming “FIFA World Cup Russia 2018”. In conclusion, this action is an important step towards improving the quality of services at…

I read a book called, “Animal Farm” written by George Orwell. The book is about animals on a farm who are overworked, and not treated as they should be. Then, a rebellion made up of animals with pigs as their leaders, rebel against Mr.Jones (owner of the farm) by driving him off the farm. The animals try to make the perfect life for themselves, but that doesn’t go as planned. Animal farm then, starts to fail. The farm fails because of the pigs not being fair to the other animals, and the animals…

“Harrison Bergeron” is a fictitious story written by Kurt Vonnegut in October of 1961. During the time period in which it was published, the Soviet Union (USSR) was still in power. The Soviet Union was a communist society that used force from “secret police”, whose main objective was to censor the people. The story “Harrison Bergeron” has a similar approach set in a dystopian society in the year 2081. In this society “Everybody was finally equal....Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody…

Power can have the persuasive action in undoing the moral ethics of one’s character. This can be seen throughout history with the Russian Revolution and can also be proven by the actions of Napoleon in, Animal Farm, by George Orwell. As John Dalberg said “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” A leader does not begin wanting to do wrong, they start with the best intentions, but power is a tricky thing. As someone gains more and more power, they increasingly become…

In the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, Orwell expresses how the utilization and abuse of power can affect a union. In the novel he expresses the Russian Revolution in the form of an allegory in which important figures are portrayed as animals. His main characters Napoleon and Mr. Jones illustrate how the misuse of power can lead to corruption and oppression, while Old Major shows that not everyone with power will abuse that responsibility. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced…

In “The End of History?”, by Francis Fukuyama he raises the position that nationalism and communism were two major consequences of the inability to establish a liberal democracy. As the USSR collapsed in 1992, researches have begun to question if the two main factors, nationalism and communism, led to the fall of this empire. Throughout my analysis, I will approach the effects of communism and nationalism on the collapse of the soviet union, by comparing and contrasting these points to Fukuyamas…

The Bolshevik government was a government situated in the Soviet Empire run and founded by Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky. The Bolshevik government ran on many ideas of Karl Marx. The theorisation of Karl Marx ran by the name of Marxism and these ideas within his theory were as followed: The capitalist society is one to be abolished, as the bourgeois should not be the ones to run the land or factories when they are not the ones that slave away on those sites. With this, Lenin intertwines…

Whenever George Orwell wrote “Animal Farm” his main objective was to show the flaws of the communist movement. He stated the open fact that nothing had been improved by this rebellion against God and against authority. Actually he showed that rebellion worsens bondage. In the beginning of the story you find the animals hiding a secret meeting, talking about the abuse and horrible ways they suffer at the hands of Master Jones. No animal in England is free. The life of an animal is suffering and…

Toward the end of the second world war, on April 12, 1945, the new, inexperienced Harry Truman progressed toward becoming president and instantly stood up to issues of baffling magnitude and complicated problem. The war had changed the balance of power in Europe, remove colonial empires and political disturbance within nations. One of the concerns was the broken down of the U.S wartime alliance with the Soviet Union. After the fall of Nazi’s regime, the Soviets were forcing their influence of…
