For hundreds of years the Tsars, sort of like an emperor, ruled Russia

Many of the poor were mistreated. Then notourious "Volga Boatmen" were even used as human ox to pull ships onto land, or through the narrow Volga river.

Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848. It started and idealism that would still be around 150 years later.

Vladmir Ulynov took the code name Lenin to hide from the Tsar's troops. 

After the Feburary revolution, Lenin took power. He  was revolted against in the Civil War of 1918. This was a war between the communists and the non- communists.

 Leon Trotsky was Lenin's right hand man. He is infamous for his armored train, which served as his home as he lead troops in the Civil War.

While Trotsky was at war, Joseph Stalin was in charge. He quickly eliminated all politicial rivals. Stalin's rule was considered even worse then the Tsars.

In 1928 Trotsky was exiled from Russia. In 1940, Stalin had him assasinated. Famously, he was killed with an ice pick, or rather its cousin, the ice axe.

Stalin died in 1953 and was replaced by Nikita Khrushchev.
