Control+or+tradition

Hello forum users,

Liesa, Jonnie and I will be helping you revise the topic of: Soviet Society and culture Lenin: Control or tradition. The question of whether Russian society was controlled as a result of Lenin's influence and controlling nature will explored in great detail. The group has narrowed the topic into sub questions of the influence upon:


 * 1) Art and culture
 * 2) Youth Groups
 * 3) Education
 * 4) Church
 * 5) Women
 * 6) Military

Evidently, it is presented through these aspects that Lenin had a continual system of control in his favour as a result of communism. With the increasing power of the Bolsheviks, reinforced with the brutality of the Cheka and military elements of the Soviet, the consolidation of power achieved by Lenin was inevitable. I will continue to post some helpful pieces of information to help further expand upon your knowledge and to grasp an intellectual insight into the topic.

Thanks,

Lachie
