Vocabulary and Key Concepts of War Communism

Source: Summary of War Communism

War Communism was a policy implemented by the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War (1918-1921). It involved the nationalization of industry, the requisition of grain from peasants, and the suppression of opposition to ensure the Red Army’s survival. The policy aimed to control the economy and secure victory for the Bolsheviks, but it also led to economic hardship and unrest.

Historian View:

'War Communism was a necessary but harsh measure that helped the Bolsheviks maintain power during a chaotic period.' (Historian A) 'The policies of War Communism caused widespread suffering among peasants and workers, leading to discontent and resistance.' (Historian B)
