BLOODY SUNDAY
On the 22nd of January 1905 a massacre dubbed 'Bloody Sunday' took place outside the Winter Palace in St Petersburg, Russia, as the result of a clash between peaceful protesters and armed Tsarist troops. The significant causes of this event are the emancipation of serfs, the living and working conditions of peasants and the protest (petition proposal) that directly led to the clash of citizens and troops.

In 1912, Lenin who, at the time was in exile in Switzerland, appointed Joseph Stalin to lead the first Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party.

Stalinism was the name given to the way things were done under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, this included; mass genocide of millions of Russians who disagreed with Stalin's rule, as well as squashing ideals that Stalin believed would harm his misguided popularity. With the horrors at Bloody Sunday, citizens looked to other rulers and other ways of ruling that they felt would be different and therefore, hopefully more effective than the Tsarist ideologies. This brought about the rise of communism, that's where Lenin, followed by Stalin slipped through the cracks and came to power. At first, communism seemed like the best option; anything would be a step up from Tsar Nicholas, at least that was the idea. Communism would be one of many choices made in bad situations that would eventually fall into Russia's "good in theory, not so in practice"
