14. Bringing Russia back
1921 – Lenin wants to make the economy into a communist one
State controls all decisions, takes all profits, distributes wages to all workers/farmers so all are paid equally
Russia not ready for this – too chaotic
Lenin allows farmers to sell surplus crops and keep the money
Allows some small businesses to be independent, but government controls all big industry and banking

15. Differences between Marx and Lenin
Both agreed that history was all about class struggle
Marx saw the struggle was between capitalists and workers
Lenin saw peasants also in the struggle (also against capitalists)
Marx thought workers would be so numerous that they could take over on their own
Lenin thought workers weren’t capable of this, and needed strong leadership to do it

16. Recovery From Revolution
Despite the radical change in government, Russia recovers slowly in the 1920s
By 1928, Russia was producing as much as it was before WW I
Nationalism is a problem
Many ethnic groups within Russia
Lenin allows them to be self-governing within Russia, but really under Moscow’s control

19. USSR
Lenin organizes Russia and the other self- governing republics into the USSR
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
Bolsheviks rename themselves the Communist Party
1924 – they create a constitution based on democratic ideals
Reality: Communist Party controlled everything
Lenin has a stroke and dies in 1924
Stalin succeeds him

21. Stalin Takes Power Lenin’s stroke Trotsky and Stalin – rivals
Stalin becomes Secretary of Communist Party (very powerful position)
Before he dies, Lenin is worried
“Comrade Stalin has concentrated enormous amounts of wealth in his hands….”
Stalin in totally control by 1928
Trotsky goes into exile in 1929
