Russian Revolution
Co-existence of Good and Evil in the Russian RevolutionThe Russian Revolution was a series of events in 1917 removing the Tsarist autocracy and replacing them with communist governments, resulting in an eventual rise of the Soviet Union. This revolution took place in Russia and endured for less than a year, from February to October 1917. The last Russian emperor (Tsar Nicholas II) became unpopular because he didn’t believe in a democracy and believed in autocracy (one person rules). As a result, he became so insular and didn't listen to the grievances and suffering of his own people. Good was made evident when the Russian Tsar Nicholas, during World War I was then replaced by the leader of the communist political party, Vladimir Lenin resulting in communist governments. Vladimir Lenin was considered good because he saved the Russians from Tsar Nicholas who believed in one ruler running the whole of society. As a result of the Bolsheviks (Lenin Party) seizing power, communism flourished in the hope that the ordinary person would have a better life. However, the revolution that the ordinary people led hoping for a better outcome failed to eventually materialise. In an attemp to achieve this, many lives were lost from the horrors of this conflict, which shows the evil proliferating in that society.
