Did Bolsheviks allow people to own property?

No and yes. One of the first things the Bolsheviks did upon seizing power was to abolish the private ownership of all property. However, by the end of the Russian Civil War, the economy was producing less than it had under the Tsarist regime and the people were getting angry with how the Bolsheviks were running things. Lenin then instituted his "New Economic Policy" in which peasant farmers were allowed to own and sell their own crops. Also, small businesses were allowed to be owned and operated for profit. Upon Lenin's death these measures were eventually ended and the private ownership of property once again forbidden.

What kind of government did Lenin initiate?

A communist system of government replaced the old, decadent, corrupt monarchy, after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Lenin created a socialist type of government, not a communist type of government. The government created by Lenin was just as repressive and autocratic as the monarchy that had been replaced. Dissent from Bolshevik/Communist doctrine or against the leaders of the Bolsheviks (meaning Lenin himself) was deemed counter-revolutionary and subjected the dissident to exile, imprisonment or death. All political parties, then existing as well as to be formed, except the Bolshevik/Communist Party were dispersed and outlawed. Lenin created the Bolshevik Party which seized governmental power from the Russian Provisional Government, which had been set up in place of Tsar Nicholas' II's rule. Then he created the first Russian republic called the Russian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic, which in 1926 became the Soviet Union. Once the Bolsheviks had all political power with no way for the people to change things, the government got just as corrupt as the Tsar's had been.


How did the czar autocratic policies towards the people lead to the social unrest?

The Czar's autocratic policies toward the people lead to social unrest because he made polices that did things such as having secret police who watched secondary schools and universities. He made Russian the official language so people who taught in different languages could now only teach in Russian. He also was racist toward the Jews, and he let many Russian people break into many Jewish people homes, their stores, and synagogues.


Were conditions better before or after the Russian Revolution?

In many ways conditions were worse after the Russian Revolutions than before. Shortages of food and manufactured goods actually increased as production decreased. Peasant farmers were forced to sell their crops to the government under Lenin's "war communism" policy leaving them with barely enough to survive. Peasants soon lost incentive to grow more crops or hoarded what they did grow. Peasants who did this and were found out were exiled, imprisoned or executed. Industrial output actually fell below the levels they had been at under the Tsar. Lenin recognized this and fearing that the Russian people would revolt against him and the Bolsheviks, instituted the New Economic Policy. It did little to help. There was absolutely no political freedom since Lenin abolished all political parties other than the Bolshevik, later Communist, Party. Anyone voicing opposition or criticism of the way the Bolsheviks/Communists were running things was branded a counterrevolutionary and also exiled, jailed or executed. All in all, the plight of the peasants and laborers got worse.

What country was removed from World War 1 by Germany in late 1917?

Germany didn't directly remove them, but Russia left the war in late 1917. Russia's military wasn't as good as Germany's, so Russia was often losing battles to them. In early 1917, Russian people were so frustrated by the war and how badly it was going for their side that in February there was a revolution. The Russian Tsar (Emperor) was overthrown and a Republic was set up. But the Republic refused to quit fighting the war, and things didn't get better. So in October, the communist Bolshevik party started a second revolution and overthrew the republic. Germany did directly assist the Bolsheviks in one significant way. The Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin was living in exile in Switzerland. Germany secretly sent him back to Russia so that he could directly lead the Bolshevik revolution. They put him on a train car and locked the doors so he couldn't get out until he reached Russia. At first, the Bolsheviks also refused to quit the war. But Germany started conquering Russian territory, and the Bolsheviks weren't able to stop them- things in Russia, including the military, were still in chaos after the two revolutions. The Bolsheviks eventually agreed to a peace treaty with Germany, and quit the war... just in time to fight a bloody civil war against Russians who opposed a communist takeover.
