Someone with Historical/ Dramatic knowledge (partiuculary Russian Revolution) please help with this essay?


I am writing a drama essay on how 'society is reflected in drama?' i need a brief overview on the russian revolution on the lead up to Joseph stalin's reign to help show social, political, context. I think im going to talk about censorship and propaganda. Can anyone with a bit of historical knowledge on the 1917 Russian Revolution please look over it for me and let me know if it's all correct and if i should put anything in/take anything out. Any general comments or info towards essay will help too. All help much appreciated :)


The 1917 Russian Revolution, consisting of the October and February revolutions, destroyed the Tsarist autocracy after centuries in power and resulted in the establishment of the Bolshevik (Communist) party, led by Vladimir Lenin as government. The first revolution took place in February and was a rather sporadic movement, consisting mostly of lay people who were fed up with poor working conditions, the country鈥檚 involvement in World War l (including conscription) and the oppression of the lower classes. All of these reasons led to a great unpopularity towards the current Tsar, Nicholas ll, who was considered weak and unfit to rule by the majority of the population. As the strength of the revolution increased, Nicholas was forced to abdicate, leaving the Russian Provisional Government in power. This government continued until the second, more organized revolution led by Bolshevik party with Vladimir Lenin at its head. They overthrew the Russian Provisional Government and took power of the country, and began the spread of Communism in the 20th century. In years to follow (1917-21) Civil War took place in Russia, between the Bolshevik Army and the White Army, aided by the Allied Forces. However, despite this foreign military aid, the Red Army prevailed. In 1924 Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin died of a heart attack and by 1928 Joseph Stalin, the General Secretary of the Communist Party and Soviet Union, had taken full control of the country.

It's reasonably accurate. You understate the differences between the February Revolution, which had democratic goals, and the later Bolshevik Revolution. And you somewhat overplay the foreign aid given to the White Russians, which did occur but wasn't serious or extensive.
