The last TsarLife under the Tsar was getting bad
Living and working conditions were growing worse
Something had to change
![Page 17: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Enter the Communist Party…Poor working conditions and scarce
resources were making the Russian people unhappy with the Tsar
The communist Bolshevik party began to form in Russia
![Page 18: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Karl Marx: Father of Communism
![Page 19: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Karl MarxPeople should
contribute what they could and, in return, receive enough to support themselves.
Karl Marx, in 1847, wrote his Communist Manifesto, spelling out the basics of communism
![Page 20: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Karl Marx hoped for a Utopian society without any inequality
“Utopia” is a term for an ideal society.
In Greek, this word means
“no place.”
What do YOU think the Greek meaning foreshadows?

Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto
![Page 22: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Marxist Theory1. All historical change comes from class
struggles.
2. Communism is the highest and final stage of development.
3. In societies based on Capitalism…the rulers are the wealthy class (capitalists). The working class provides the labor. Who always profits? The Capitalists!
4. The ruling class will never give up their power willingly.
![Page 23: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Marxist Theory5. The result of this relationship between the
different classes = struggle & violence!
6. Capitalists enslave the working class. Marx believes workers should set up a planned community.
7. All industries should be controlled by the state—not individuals.
These are the basic ideas of pure Communism
![Page 24: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Bloody Sunday-1905Opposition of the
Tsar had vastly grown
Unarmed workers march to the Winter Palace, where the Tsar and his family were living in St. Petersburg, in a peaceful demonstration
They are gunned down by the Tsar’s men
Considered one of the key events that lead to the Russian Revolution
![Page 25: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The march to revolution…After Bloody Sunday, Tsar Nicholas forms the
Duma….a form of congress
The Duma actually had very little power
Unrest continues to grow
Enter Rasputin…the Evil Monk!
![Page 26: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Did you say Evil Monk?....Yes I did!
Grigori Rasputin was a Russian Orthodox Christian Monk
Believed he was a faith healer and mystic and gained fame
![Page 27: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Tsarina brings Rasputin to the palace
Tsar Nicholas had a son Alexi
Alexi had hemophilia-his blood didn’t clot normally
Tsarina Alexandra Romanov, desperate to help her son, brought Rasputin to the palace
Rasputin heals Alexi during a bleeding episode, gaining the trust of the Tsarina
![Page 28: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Rasputin gains influence over Royal Family
As Tsar Nicholas was away fighting in WWI, Rasputin became a confidant and advisor of the Tsarina
Rasputin essentially became the ruler of Russia
Russia’s economy worsenedThe people began to blame
the Tsarina and Rasputin
![Page 29: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
A time to kill…To save the Tsar’s throne, noblemen loyal to
Tsar Nicholas murder RasputinIt took a few tries…
Poisoned with cyanide—no effectShot point blank and got up and ranShot 2 more times, clubbed, hands tied and
then dropped in frozen riverCause of death—Drowning!

In 1917, the workers did upriseThe Bolshevik party
(communists) eventually took power.

by Vladimir Lenin, the same leader of the Bloody Sunday protest. Russia became the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics )

You and your family were shot and killed in your basement
The entire family was told they were going to take a family picture
The girls did not die so they were stabbed
They still did not die so then they were shot in the head
If you are the Tsar…Sorry!!!

Lenin was so loved by the people that he was embalmed and put on display after his death in 1924.
36
![Page 37: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
In 1924, people could go see him and say goodbye
His brain was removed and saved…They can still do that now, too. Yep, he’s still there!

The Rise of Stalin: Leon Trotsky-Lenin’s 2nd in command
A leader during the Bolshevik Revolution
2nd in command during Lenin’s reign
Editor of the Pravda
![Page 39: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Pravda—remember learning about propaganda?!Newspaper-name means “Truth”
Government controlled the news
![Page 40: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
After Lenin’s death, Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky struggled over who should be in power.
Even though it was no longer a Monarchy, Russian citizens still did not get to choose their leader.
Stalin vs. Trotsky

![Page 41: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Young Stalin
Trotsky lost. He was exiled to Mexico and eventually assassinated by a Soviet agent.
Militant Stalin
41
• Stalin had been a leader in the Bolshevik party under Lenin
![Page 42: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Stalin ruled the Soviet Union from 1929 until his death in 1953.
He was responsible for the USSR becoming a major industrial power.
He also killed or imprisoned millions of people in the great “purges.”
Millions of people who were suspected of being a threat to the party were executed or exiled to labor camps called gulags (concentration camps)
Is this the Utopia they dreamed of?
42
![Page 43: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The End?The Utopian dream was not achieved.
Many people were worse off under Soviet rule than they had been under Tsarist rule.
43
![Page 44: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The USSR became a communist society where people were all equal but had no choices and made no decisions. The government made all the decisions. Whether you worked 3 hours or worked 12 hours you still made the same amount. You do not choose how much you work.What are the benefits to this type of government? What are the down sides to this government? Is it fair?
44
![Page 45: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What is it really all about?
So let’s look further into communism
![Page 46: Animal Farm by George Orwell](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681650b550346895dd780cd/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Class,
Due to poor grades the last 6-weeks, I have decided to give everyone the same grade for the Animal Farm unit. Everyone will be receiving a C. You will still complete work individually; however, the entire class will receive the same grade. This will prevent anyone from failing as has happened in the past few units. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask or email me.
Thank you,
Ms. Rathmann

1% of Americans control 40% of the wealth in the country.How do you feel about this statistic? Do you
think it is fair? Unfair? Explain your reasons.
