Ideas the flow from Marx and Engels’ Manifesto

Class struggle

The oppressor and the oppressed

The death of the middle class

A very few have almost everything

Let them eat cake

From each according to his ability to each according to his needs

The economy determines the art

Religion is the opiate of the masses

World War I > 1917 February Revolution—Tsar Nicolas II abdicates—end of the Romanov Dynasty

Provisional government established

Marx and Engels’ philosophy implemented by Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky led to the

1917 October Revolution—Len’s Bolsheviks overthrow the provisional government and turned rule over to the Soviets (a working class union filled mostly with Bolsheviks).

Stalin and the Great Purge 1935-1938

Stalin launched a command economy, replacing the New Economic Policy of the 1920s with Five-Year Plans and launching a period of rapid industrialization and economic collectivization. The upheaval in the agricultural sector disrupted food production, resulting in widespread famine, such as the catastrophic Soviet famine of 1932–1933, known in Ukraine as the Holodomor.^[3]

During the late 1930s, Stalin launched the Great Purge (also known as the "Great Terror"), a campaign to purge the Communist Party of people accused of sabotage, terrorism, or treachery; he extended it to the military and other sectors of Soviet society. Targets were often executed, imprisoned in Gulag labor camps or exiled. In the years which followed, millions of members of ethnic minorities were also deported.^[4][5]

At the end of January 1953 Stalin's personal physician Miron Vovsi (cousin of Solomon Mikhoels who was assassinated in 1948 at the orders of Stalin)^[228] was arrested within the frame of the so-named Doctors' Plot.^[248]

Minimum of 25 million deaths attributed to him.
