Language: RussianAfter the Revolution in October 1917, Soviet Russia tried to establish an alternative form of social organization based on the ideology of communism and the practices of Soviet democracy. This system inspired millions and achieved the industrialization of Russia, but ultimately failed. The dissolution of the communist order by 1991 was accompanied by the disintegration of the country. This essay provides a fresh and concise view of the history of communism and Russia in the twentieth century, and the interaction of the two. It traces the connections and tensions between communist ideology and Russian realities, and explains the reasons for the collapse of the system.
