SoundtrackSoviet Power and Electrification
Russia was hit hard by World War I. Czar Nicholas II abdicated in February 1917, and the Provisional Government was not popular.
The Bolshevik Party, led by Vladimir Lenin, gathered worker councils known as Soviets, and seized power in October the same year. The Soviet government faced resistance from the old elite, Western nations, and other revolutionaries, and had myriads of "enemies of the people" deported and killed. Lenin's successor Stalin was responsible for millions of deaths. Yet more millions of Russians died in World War II. Through wars, death and despair, the Soviet Union became a superpower, second only to the USA.
Lenin said "Communism is Soviet Power plus electrification of the whole country", to emphasize the need of infrastructure to create a classless society. However, the arms race against rival nations turned out to be more urgent than civil rights.
Your goal is maximum book value by the end of 1952. There is no financial market, and the autocratic leaders' policies change the terms every few years.
