Analyze how Russia changed after the Revolution. Think about the ways it changed (Economically, Politically, Socially)? Was it mainly positive for the country? Or was it negative? Or mixed? What was the impact of Lenin? What was the impact of Stalin?

Answer:

It was definitely a negative impact on the country. The people had everything taken from them. When the Communists took over they enforced their ideals. The Communist Manifesto explained that everything would be taken from the people (no private business) and it was given back to the people supposedly accordingly to their needs. This was inefficient and killed many Russian citizens. People had to wait in lines for days to get bread, and many died in those lines, especially during the cold Russian winters. It mix of impact from Lenin and Stalin. Lenin overthrew the government and set the foundations for the government that he had in mind. When Stalin took over, he had Lenin killed (which is never a good sign) and ruled almost like a dictator. Stalin killed more of his own citizens than Hitler did with the Holocaust. The government threw the western civilizations into a panic in fear of Communism. This led to the Iron curtain speech as well as the Domino effect. I hope this helps!
