Post WWI Russia
• Lenin dies in 1924, Stalin gains power.
(Lenin did not want that to happen)
• Russification
– Stalin forced millions of his citizens to move to
isolate national groups who might want
independence from the U.S.S.R.
• Five Year Plans
– Stalin’s crash modernization of Soviet industry. He
planned to upgrade Soviet factories so that they could
compete with the West in five years.
Stalin took all the land away from the peasants and
collected it into large state run farms where the
peasants were forced to work.
