Were at a battlefield where the White and Red Armies of Russia are fighting for control over the country.
What are we doing back here!? Its literally the exact same.
Wrong again. This is the same place, but this is now the capitol city of a communist run government. Vladimir Lenin runs this country, and this city is now is the face of the first ever communist state.
Well that sounds important, but what's really changed.
Well plenty has changed. Serfdom was abolished, a czarist monarchy was overthrown, and the land owning elite were stripped of their wealth for the common good of all.
By winning the war they were able to seize power. They implemented a new system of government and taxed the rich. "The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between millstones of taxationand inflation."
How were they able to do that?
Wow that very in-depth explanation of how the systems of power were disrupted was exactly what I was hoping to learn. Thank you so much for teaching me Kai!
All in all, the systems of power were heavily disrupted and most definitely changed the course of history of Russia forever.
