Imagine that you are a Russian worker at the time of the Russian Revolution of 1917, during the rule of the provisional government that took power after the fall of the czar. Write a statement to persuade your fellow workers to support either the provisional government or the Bolsheviks. In your letter, be sure to define the positions of each side and explain why you support one side over the other. (10 points)

In the midst of a crisis, Russian country, our Motherland is falling apart. In the turn of events, a new dawn of age is in the making. The Great War took many of our best people while the famine is taking the other part. Long hours at work, which look like slavery by this moment, with constant risk of injury and death and inadequate wages indicate that the changes should be made instantly. Working people are starving and cannot provide for their children and wives. All of this is happening due to the greedy and powerful Tsar and his family who lived like gods in their palace for centuries.

But not everything is lost, there is still hope. Strikes and bread riots are spreading across the country.

The Bolsheviks promise to return the power and governance to the working class. The means of production will be took from the capitalists and be given back to the proletariat. All land will be nationalised which will bring equality to everyone from the western part of the country, the city of Leningrad, all the way to Vladivostok. The state, ruled by the avangarde promised to distribute all the wealth to the working people. Freedom to the proletariat and down with the Tsarist regime!
