Propaganda and Censorship

Under Lenin's leadership, the regime implemented comprehensive control over information and media, similar to tsarist censorship but with modern innovations.

Vocabulary: The Agitation and Propaganda Department, founded in 1921, was responsible for promoting an idealized version of Soviet life.

The regime controlled information through:

  • Strict surveillance of schools, cinemas, radio, and libraries
  • Support for pro-regime writers and persecution of dissidents
  • Creation of a personality cult around Lenin

Quote: The renaming of Petrograd to Leningrad in 1924 exemplified the growing cult of personality around Lenin.

Opposition and Control

What did Lenin's government do to maintain power involved systematic suppression of various forms of opposition:

Peasant Opposition:

  • Dealt with peasant unrest through a combination of force and policy adjustments
  • Introduction of NEP to appease peasant demands

Worker Opposition:

  • Decreased during Lenin's rule due to war casualties and changing workforce demographics
  • NEP improved conditions, reducing likelihood of strikes
  • Any remaining opposition handled by security forces

Highlight: Lenin's approach to opposition demonstrated both tactical flexibility NEPNEP and ruthless suppression when deemed necessary.

The Secret Police and Military Control

The establishment of the Cheka marked a crucial phase in how Lenin came to power and maintained control. Under Felix Dzerzhinsky, this organization became the primary tool for suppressing opposition.

Definition: The Cheka AllRussianExtraordinaryCommissionforCombatingCounterRevolutionandSabotageAll-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage was Lenin's secret police force established in December 1917.

Highlight: The Cheka implemented the Red Terror, which included arrests, imprisonment, exile, and executions of perceived enemies of the state.

The military played a crucial role in consolidating Bolshevik power:

  • The Red Army grew to 5 million strong compared to the Whites' 500,000
  • Military force was used to impose War Communism on peasants
  • The Kronstadt mutiny of 1921 was brutally suppressed, resulting in 10,000 casualties

Example: The suppression of the Kronstadt rebellion demonstrated Lenin's willingness to use extreme force against any opposition, even from within the military.
