"First steps of the Soviet Regime" Reading - Monday January 25, 2010

Focus on policy for this document.
Insightful policy?
  • many factions, everyone seemed to be united in a common cause then different governmets develop and fall
  • freedom of press not allowed till Lenin put down opposition
  • Lenin does not have majority but uses what he has to give him legitimacy, Lenin make sit look like he has support of rural people, if they don't agree with hi then he sets them up against eachother until they decide to go his way
  • creation of policy to induce strong factions to trust him and ally with him to consolidate power, and at the same time he takes care of other opposition groups
  • when Lenin dies there is another ower struggle
