COMMUNISM

The October Revolution and its consequences

• By the end of 1917,  the Bolsheviks had taken over control in Russia.
• Capture of the Winter Palace became a propaganda symbol for the new Communist Party. 

• After a civil war, the Communists won and renamed Russia the Soviet Union in 1922, which lasted for decades untill the end of the Cold War in 1991. 

Propaganda

Propaganda is information that is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be presenting facts selectively. 

Communism

Communism is a ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of a communist society, namely a socioeconomic order structured upon the ideas of common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money and the state.

Cold War

The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the Soviet Union and the United States and their respective allies, the Eastern Bloc and the Western Bloc, after World War II. The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two superpowers, but they each supported major regional conflicts known as proxy wars.
