dictatorships, citizens in each country were able to connect to the history of dance. Dancing helped to entertain and also advanced political propaganda. While dance was famous in Russia under Lenin and Stalin, dance in Germany was not as revered as Russian ballet, especially during the time of Hitler’s rule. Although these two countries may not seem to own the same style of dance, both countries were able to benefit from dance politically. Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany demonstrate how dance…

takeover of Joseph Stalin. The three pigs lay down the core principles of Animalism, and the animals enthusiastically accept them, which is similar to the way that Stalin introduced new laws and policies which would further the Communist vision, and the Russian people accepted them, eager for a change for the better. Napoleon soon chased Snowball off the farm, because he opposed Snowball’s plan for a windmill. Napoleon very quickly made it known that anyone who opposed him will be brutally…

When considering what the main reason that the 1905 Revolution failed was, we must understand that there were many reasons that ultimately contributed to its failure. The armed forces remained loyal to the Tsar, ensuring that the rebels did not get out of hand.

and society. It not only mirrors the events of the Russian Revolution it also relates to politics that can be observed throughout history and today. The animals overcame many struggles to have independence from their owner. They held a vision for the future that was for the greater good of all animals on the farm. However, over time this vision changed as a result of control and power of their leader. Many of these aspects can be observed in Russian history and today’s political struggles. When…

upsurge. However, what patriotism flooded through the Russian forces was soon overturned by the realization that they were poorly equipped with outdated weaponry and there were terrible logistical problems in running a war from 6,000 miles away from the fight. As detailed in cartoon 1 (pg. 39) in Reinventing Russia , the artist illustrates the blatant incompetence of the Russian naval forces in their inability to navigate through their own Russian mines in the midst of an ironically calm ocean.…

Russian culture has always had a big impact on my life as a mixed, Russian/Black individual. And as most Russians will tell you, food is a huge part of their culture. I grew up with so many diverse food on my plate over the year and simply assumed that that was just what everyone ate until I started going to school and noticing other kids lunches, and they started to notice mine. But at the heart of my semi-Russian experience there are four foods that seem to best capture the ideal Russian…

to more job opportunities. The war with Japan ended in 1905 which relieved a lot of economic strain, redirecting money from the front lines to Russian cities. Government intervention alleviated economic strain and helped to progress Russia from an agricultural society to a more modern capitalist society. The economic situation improved and the Russian people benefitted. Frustrations with the government became largely socially and politically motivated, focused on civil liberties and…

When Tereza and Tomas return to a Czech spa after the Russian invasion, Tereza notes that its appearance is just as it was six years ago; however, in a show of passive resistance, Czech people remove street signs to disorient their invaders. Tereza retrospects, “Hindsight now made the anonymity seem quite dangerous to the country”(166). Just as the buildings and roads in this Czech town, including the spa, are currently adorned with Russian names since they cannot return to their former…

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…
