1. Using Documents C, D, and E (page 2 - all numbers referred to are the big hand written page numbers) explain how Lenin and Stalin worked to secure the supremacy of the party.
Lenin and Stalin worked in a way to use superior power to simple expunge other groups from interfering. In source E it is demonstrated that the Stalinist overpowers the other groups, that he can simply bore through while smaller groups fail to stop it. In source C, Lenin's resolution was passed by the Tenth Party Congress, that ordered the immediate dispersal of all opposing groups, showed the consolidation of power by removing anyone who would go against the government. Source D presents the thought that the proletariat was saved from the Mensheviks, where the ability to have strength is to rid the area of opportunist who would present corruption.
2. In what ways do Documents A, B and C (pages 3 - 4) support the assertion made in Document C that "Lenin wanted power, Lenin's rivals did not want it"?
3. What can be inferred from Document D (page 4) about the following?
a: Why soldiers wanted to go home
b: Why the soldiers now supported the Bolsheviks.
