Russian Single Party State (1917-1932)

Paper Summary:

The main factors involved in obtaining and maintaining the Russian Communist state primarily under Lenin and Stalin are discussed. Aspects discussed include background information on the development (including discussion of Marx as well as the fall of the Romanov family), Communist ideology, use of propaganda and repression, and emphasis on the directed economic policies under Communism.

From the Paper:

"The growth of the Communist single party state in the Soviet Union is a result of many factors. The writings of Karl Marx provided a blueprint upon which Communist followers developed their own ideology. Lenin and Stalin were powerful and effective leaders during the early stages of the Communist regime. The economic policies of both men served enhance the Russian economy and to further expand Communism. The party also repressed religion and diminished the importance of the family. The development and expansion of the single party state in the Soviet Union from 1917 until 1932 was a direct result of Lenin and Stalin s leadership capabilities, Communist ideology, the use of propaganda and terror, the directed economies under Lenin and Stalin, and state-sponsored repression of the church and diminishment of the family."
