The Abandonment of the Constituent Assembly 1917
Straight after the October Revolution of 1917, Lenin promised to hold elections for a
parliament to be known as the Constituent Assembly
Lenin renamed the Bolshevik as the Communist party to win more support. However, the
communists only won 175 seats out of 700, not enough for a majority
Lenin decided to shut it down after one day, as he was not prepared to share power with
anyone
The Cheka
Lenin set up a secret police force to spy on workers in factories and villages
Anyone suspected to be anti-communist could be arrested, tortured and executed without a
trial
When opponents tried to assassinate Lenin in 1918, he launched the Red Terror campaign
against his enemies, where 50.000 people were arrested and executed
