The Russian Revolution of 1917
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the events of 1917 and the Russian Revolution. Russia suffered serious reverses in World War I at the hands of the Germans and Austrians. The country had become a backward country with a miserable peasantry on the verge of starvation, a thin veneer of European civilization, and a seemingly unbridgeable gap between the privileged and the unprivileged. The Russian people turned to the Bolsheviks, almost by default, to implement the popular revolutionary program. Lenin and the Bolsheviks eventually implemented their own version of revolution instead. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

John Reed's "Ten Days that Shook the World"
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses John Reed's 1934 account of the Bolsheviks and the Russian Revolution of 1917. Reed was an unapologetic communist before communism became demonized. His book and Reed himself, have inspired a great deal of controversy. Through Reed's commentary, it is possible to understand many of the objectives and fundamental goals of the revolutionary leaders and that the larger intention of the Russian Revolution was not at all evil but was based on the most basic of premises -- equality. No doubt, readers would see the corrupt sides of the Revolution if Reed's book had gone further than the October Revolution. Bibliography lists one source.

Russia Through The Year 1917
