Well Russia has a long history Of having absolute rulers It would have to take a lot to bring down the czar Everyone has taken time to try and bring them down It hasnt worked, until Rasputin Why wont it work, who can stop them Someone has to kill the czars family Revolt, revolt until it works It finally did Pogroms, Pogroms that killed all the jews Duma, Duma, Thank you Nicholas 2 World War 1 Was the final straw Goodbye to the Czar It had to be done someday Social democratic labor Was the most radical to date All thanks to their leader Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov Goodbye to the name Russia Hello Union of Soviet Socialist Republics After November of 1917 Bread, land, and Peace Red Army, White Army Battling in the Civil War Bolsheviks, Mensheviks All radical groups in Russia Why cant Russia Just get along There are too many czars The history makes the country the way it is today Where would Russia be without that evil czar ruling We must study about what once happened To avoid repeating what happened in the the past
