Many times in the past history has repeated itself, and it will always repeat itself. In the 1950’s the Senator of Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy began trials and investigations to expose communists in Hollywood.

Published at the turn of the 20th Century, Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” explores a British Sailor’s recount of his time spent in the Belgian Congo, and the horrors that he witnessed within.

Russian Secret Police From 1954 to its downfall in 1991, the Russian Police, or KGB was both an intelligence agency and a primary source security agency.

George Orwell used the facts and force of this agency to tie it into a book he wrote known as ,Animal Farm, In this book Orwell portrays many people and events that happened in history around this time and put it into the perspective of animals.

Imperialism’s Imbalance of Id Insanity is a byproduct of imperialism. In Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, Kurtz is a high ranking employee of the Company, an imperialist Dutch organization exploiting the Congo for ivory. After gaining his position, Kurtz rapidly becomes consumed by greed, establishes himself as a veritable god among men, and leads natives in raids against other villages to steal their ivory. Kurtz is overwhelmingly dominated by his id, and his downfall stems from the imbalance…

1942, December 18, Moscow, Russia. The Soviet Union is at a critical point in the war, creating stress on its political leaders, to relieve the pressure Stalin issued a custom where citizens could invite them for an evening dinner. Numerous citizens fear the leaders of Russia, my parents too fear their leaders, and thanks to me they get to meet Stalin himself. That’s right even I; an eleven-year-old boy could invite a leader to dinner. Political pioneers hardly ever got invited, the fear of…

Stalin was one of the most vicious tyrants of the 20th century. Despite his humble origin, the combination of his life experiences and personality help shaped him into a cruel yet effective leader. He rose to an unprecedented level of power as a result of his own capabilities and his understanding of the Communist Party. His rivals and other prominent Bolshevik leaders underestimated him due to the lack of charisma as well as his education and dysfunctional family background. Stalin managed to…

Collectivism a peasants tentative opinion When Stalin started his, “revolution from above” in 1927 he had two goals for Soviet domestic policy. First, swift Industrialization, second the collectivization of agriculture (Library of congress collectivization).
