Death To the World Imperialism! – We Want You! Propaganda is an effective tool to sway a public’s opinion, and one of the most effective ways to spread a message is in posters. These posters would have messages in them, and every aspect is designed to sway one’s thinking towards a specific conclusion. This poster is no exception, and has several distinct messages in it, and a few that are up to the viewer’s interpretation. The poster features an immense dragon or serpent, which is coiled menacingly around a massive, industrialized city. The city is towering with red skyscrapers, smokestacks, and cranes, all signs of a newly built industrious city. At the bottom is a crowd of people, who are fighting the serpent dragon with bayonets. This propaganda poster was printed in 1919, which was a very turbulent time in Russia.
Depending on where this poster was circulated, it could be that the Imperialist power depicted in this piece of propaganda is Japan. Sources: Hosking, Geoffrey A. Death To the World Imperialism!

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people, Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law, Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations, Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms, Article 1.
Article 2. Article 3. Human Rights Education. A study in 2006 looked at the attitudes of young Australians to human rights. Anita Harvey reports. Young Australians recognise that most Australians, by global standards, are privileged enough to have access to shelter, food, water, free health care and free schooling, whilst others in developing countries aren't so lucky. They also believe that Australians should do more to support those in need in developing countries. These are the findings of a Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) project designed to find out young Australians' views on human rights.
Young people described human rights in various forms, from laws and religious principles, to family and community ideals; they put a strong emphasis on individual rights, and in some cases saw the rights of the individual outweighing cultural or religious beliefs. Equality Freedom of speech was the most frequently mentioned right. Across the world "The greatest enemy the poor have is our indifference. Russia & The USSR.

Soviet Era. People's Century | Red Flag | Israel Chernitsky. Interview with Israel Chernitsky, Communist Activist Q: When and why did you join the Komsomol? Chernitzky: I joined the Komsomol in March of 1927. I was fifteen years old.
The Soviet power celebrated its 10th Anniversary, out of which four years we had civil war. A new economic policy was started, and we wanted, young people wanted, to take part in this new life. Q: What was the appeal of communism for you? Chernitzky: Before Marx, philosophy of mankind was chaos. Q: Israel Abramovich, could you please tell us the story of the de-kulakization meeting you went to in the village. Chernitzky: Complete and utter collectivization was in process, and was to take place on the basis of eliminating the Kulaks as a class. Q: What did you do after the meeting? Chernitzky: Our commission went to eliminate the Kulaks. They had just built a very big new house, and they lived well, they were quite rich. Q: At the time did you think it was right to expel the Kulaks under threat of force?
Chernitzky: Yes. Revelations from the Russian Archives. This exhibition is important for what it represents, what it contains, and what it suggests. It represents a new Russia, willing and anxious under its first democratically elected president, Boris Yeltsin, to affirm the core democratic value of open access to information. Shortly after defeating the attempted coup of August 1991, a group from the victorious democratic resistance led by the chief archivist of Russia, Rudolph Pikhoia, took over the previously top secret archives of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and began the process of both consolidating democratic control over all archives in Russia and attempting to make them available for the first time for public study. This exhibit, which will later be shown in Moscow, is a milestone in this process — the first public display of the hitherto highly secret internal record of Soviet Communist rule. This exhibit illustrates both the domestic and the foreign policy of Soviet rule.

Lecture 7: The Aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution. The initial triumph of the Bolshevik Revolution at the end of October, 1917 (see Lecture 6), did not mean that the entire population of Russia had been converted to Bolshevism.
Lenin was aware of this. To gather national support, Lenin resorted to slogans for the masses. The most important of them was "Bread, Land, Peace and All Power to the Soviets. " Was this enough? The Russian people were more anti-Bolshevik than Lenin would have liked. The tsar was gone and a revolution had taken the nation by storm. Were the Bolsheviks now in control? There are parallels between 1917 and the French Revolution. October symbolized a Bolshevik triumph. Lenin accepted these figures as accurate. The period of Soviet history which runs from November 1917 to the end of 1920, is called the period of war communism. The Bolsheviks were convinced that a world revolution was about to begin, first in Germany and then England and ultimately the United States. The government had to function. Lecture 6: The Russian Revolution (2) People do not make revolutions eagerly any more than they do war.
There is this difference, however, that in war compulsion plays the decisive role, in revolution there is no compulsion except that of circumstances. A revolution takes place only when there is no other way out. And the insurrection, which rises above a revolution like a peak in the mountain chain of its events, can be no more evoked at will than the revolution as a whole. The masses advance and retreat several times before they make up their minds to the final assault.
---Trotsky, The History of the Russian Revolution Damp winds blew off the Gulf of Finland, but there were no warm clothes in the shops. Leon Trotsky, the "famous leader of the bandits and the hooligans," caused a sensation at the pre-parliament. Essential to a successful Bolshevik takeover was deception.
The decision to mount the coup was taken on October 10th. However, the Twelve were not the only individuals with knowledge of the coup. Not so Lenin. WWI%20Russian%20Revolutions%20lesson%20plan.

On Monday December 19, 1916 the corpse of Grigory Efimovich Rasputin was found and people knelt in the snow outside the Moika Palace to give their thanks to God and to Felix Yusupov, the man responsible for Rasputin's demise.
