The Rise and Fall of Soviet Communism

Essential Questions Why were the reform efforts in Russia prior to 1914 so ineffective at improving life and removing the deep discontent of Russia’s poor? Why was the Bolshevik faction able to take control of Russia in November 1917, even though it was a small organization even compared with other revolutionary parties? Were the millions of deaths and millions sent to the Gulag in the 1930s a terrible but necessary price the Soviet Union had to pay to industrialize rapidly, or were they completely unnecessary from any economic point of view?

Essential Questions (continued) Why did Khrushchev decide to criticize Stalin as he did in his famous “secret speech” to the Twentieth Party Congress? Why were Gorbachev’s efforts at reform ultimately unable to save Soviet communism and hold the Soviet Union together?
