“We will turn our hearts into steel, which we will temper in the fire of suffering and the
blood of fighters for freedom. We will make our hearts cruel, hard, and immovable, so that no mercy will enter them, and so that they will not quiver at the sight of a sea of
enemy blood. We will let loose the floodgates of that sea. Without mercy, without sparing,
we will kill our enemies in scores of hundreds. Let them be thousands; let them
drown themselves in their own blood. For the blood of Lenin and Uritsky, Zinovief and
Volodarski, let there be floods of the blood of the bourgeois - more blood, as much as
possible.”
Background
The Civil War can be said to have started immediately after Lenin declared that the
Bolsheviks had taken power on the 26th October 1917.
This is because not everybody in Russia supported the Bolsheviks in their take over. In fact, the peasants wanted the Social Revolutionaries in
power. Even Kerensky was determined to oppose them.
It took the Bolsheviks 4 years of terrible civil war to extend their control over the entirety of Russia.
Today, you will be concerned with establishing the key players and events of the early stages of the Civil War. You have already looked at this in the
questions you were answering using the textbooks. Today, you are going to work in groups to gain
more information on each of these.
Group Work
• You will be working in groups of approximately 5.
• Each group will get a list of key questions and background information.
• Each group should work together to produce a poster on their topic that answers all of the key questions.
