The communist system started out bad in the beginning ever since Lenin took control after the revolution in 1917. A civil war broke out between the communist reds and the rebellious whites in 1922. This cost the lives of 15 million Russians and billions in roubles. Under Lenin one of the largest communist nations was started soon after this. It was started with the Bolsheviks and called the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. It lasted untill the coup'detat in 1991. It was the world’s first socialist state after the Russian Revolution took control of the government. There were many threats throughout Russian history including costly military growth, economy at standstill. These all started in 1985 and were blamed on the communist state. The final blow was Gorbachev letting other political parties exist in 1989. These parties took away the vanguard status and Gorbachev officially lost power in 1991 during a coup.
