Soviet partisans

Stalin planned a five-year economic plan called collectivization and believed that under that plan, the USSR would industrialize, and become stronger than any nation in the West. Unfortunately, the USSR was made up mostly of poor peasants. Mostly, these peasants harvested crops using their hands and wooden plows. Therefore, to make the plan successful, he had to brings some changes in peasant way of harvesting crops and their lives. Stalin required two things from peasants: firstly, the peasants…

well over 53 million based on religion, race, and stupidity. Many would argue that Stalin was an evil man, but I disagree. Stalin stepped up to the plate to what he had to. Leaders are elected for the good of the nation, and Stalin did wonders for Soviet Russia. I believe Stalin was the necessary evil that Mother Russia needed. The tricky thing with morality is the gray area between right and wrong. One man’s right may be another's wrong. Stalin once said “The death of one man is a tragedy. The…

United States and the Soviet Union had joined forces to fight against Germany. Soviet and American relations began to deteriorate due to disagreements over military plans in WWII. A fear of the spread of communism and an aggressive American foreign policy in response to that fear. By 1947, the United States and the Soviet Union would be involved in the Cold War. In March 1946, former British Minister Winston Churchill spoke of the dangers to basic liberties posted by the Soviet system of…

This disagreement would become an epidemic shortly after the War. The divided line between the Western Allies German territory and the Soviet Union was known as the “Iron Curtain”. Which split Germany pretty much right down the middle. The German people would be split up from each other and become two different societies. So close to each other but so different in every aspect of policy…

Effective satire leaves the responder with a sense that some change needs to occur either to prevent situations recurring or to change current behaviour / actions. The use of absurdity and humour to discuss and expose specific problems makes satire engaging and persuasive in a way that a direct statement, is not, thus promoting and recognising the need for reform. “Animal Farm” (1945), Orwell’s allegorical critique of the Russian Revolution, reveals the innate malevolence of mankind through…

Animal Farm is an allegory since it has two levels in the story. The animals represent the people of Russia and Mr. Jones is the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II. The story tells of the overthrowing of the Russian government and the beginning of communism. Mr. Jones, as did Nicholas II, didn’t hear the cries of hunger and the needs of the people. Major, the pig, is Karl Marx, the father of communism. He is convincing telling the animals what they want to hear. The people thought they could do…

Western Culture The Western culture changes as a result of World War I in many ways such as they invented scientific theories, got more industrialized, and made changes in culture. In late 1800s/1900s, when every countries where going through roughly equal poverty then things started to change. The World War I was a disappointment and painful. It made no one happy, it killed many people ,and was not the way things were expected about it. Imperialism also took place because of World War I…

Dystopias are often looked at as a failed attempt of creating a "perfect society". They are often made up, like the world of Panem in The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. However, sometimes they become a reality, like the Holocaust that happened during World War II. Although they aren't exactly the same, the Holocaust is similar to the world of Panem in The Hunger Games because they both have sadistic leaders, loyal followers, and both are attempting to be a perfect society. In The Hunger Games…

photos, E.T.C. Using propaganda is very useful to a new incoming leader because it gets the word out to the people about how this new leader can be so great and how their beliefs and ideas can help change or grow their society. In both countries Soviet Union and Nazi Germany propaganda was used very heavily by the two leaders to help gain the support of the people. In Russia, Stalin took aggressive measures to get his country to where he wanted to be. He used propaganda to inform his people of…

Now government and religion don't normally mix well together. The government either acts in a tyrannical way towards certain religions or, the government works with the corrupt religious leaders to control the people. Now the former normally happens to Christians and has happened many times throughout history, such as the puritans in England or most obviously when Jesus was crucified. The latter doesn't really happen with Christianity because if the government officials or religious leaders are…
