This lesson explores how Lenin and the Bolsheviks came to power in Russia and the establishment of the communist government, focusing on their objectives and the issues they aimed to address. After the civil war, Lenin introduced the New Economic Policy (NEP) which allowed farmers to sell goods for profit while the government controlled major industries. The transformation into a totalitarian state under Stalin marked a pivotal shift, prioritizing state control over individual freedoms, contrasting sharply with Western democratic values.
