Analysis of War Communism during the Russian Civil War
Untitled Worksheet
Source Analysis: War Communism
Source A: The Report of a Bolshevik Official on War Communism
"During the period of War Communism, the state took control of all industries and food supplies to support the Red Army and maintain order. Peasants were required to hand over their grain, and factories were directed to produce war materials. Rationing was introduced, and private trade was heavily restricted. These measures caused widespread hardship, but they were deemed necessary to ensure victory in the civil war. Many workers and peasants suffered from shortages and forced requisitions, leading to unrest in some regions. Despite its hardships, War Communism was credited with enabling the Bolsheviks to hold onto power during a turbulent period." Provenance: Report by Ivan Petrov, 1920, official government report
