October revolution
October revolution
The October revolution was led by Vladimir Lenin, in November 1917. The revolution was based on the working class’ dissatisfaction with their condition and rights. The October Revolution occurred after a growing unrest in Russia following its entry and struggle in World War One. Funded by Germany, Lenin stirred civil unrest in the Russian Empire, which was already descending into civil war due to a lack of food and supplies. Using propaganda and intimidation, Lenin and his followers lead an idealistic uprising which came to be known as the October Revolution.

This led to the Five Year Plans wanting to create a rapid growth of capital goods such as coal, oil, hydroelectricity, iron etc.
To do this, the forced collectivization of agriculture was used; using systematic violence to get rid of private property, which they held responsible for the country’s problems. State was to own the entire agrarian sector, turning it into huge state-owned farms.
With it came cruel repression; however, the growth of heavy industry took place very rapidly.
Stalin's Dictatorships - Labour camps and Gulag
Poem on the Labour camps:
All the fuzz was a camp
A camp where you had to work hard
In the night you wouldn't even have a lamp
Stalin thought it was smart
