Exercises on the Lenin government

(Cesgranrio-RJ) In March 1921, Lenin stated:“It is necessary to abandon the immediate construction of socialism to turn, in many economic sectors, in the direction of state capitalism.”

In view of the stages of the Russian Revolution, we can interpret this statement as:

1. represent the abandonment of war communism and the beginning of the Civil War.
2. translate the failure of the five-year plans and the return to a capitalist economy.
3. introduce the New Economic Policy, characterized by some concessions to capitalism, in order to enable the advancement of socialism.
4. accepting the introduction of capitalist methods in production and the return to private enterprise.
5. indicate the impossibility of socialism in one country, hence the return to monopoly capitalism.

Putting into practice one of the terms of the motto “peace, land and bread” defended between February and October 1917, under the command of Lenin, the Bolsheviks withdrew from World War I through:

1. Treaty of Versailles.
2. Treaty of Moscow.
3. Treaty of Madrid.
4. Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
5. Treaty of Sevastopol.

Lenin's government at the head of the Soviet regime, in its early years, represented one of the hardest periods of the Russian Revolution, especially with regard to the Civil War. Regarding Lenin's government, indicate the alternative that contains incorrect information .

1. Many banks and industries were nationalized, titles of nobility lost their value, civil liberties were reorganized by new laws, the armed forces were retrained and workers could participate in the management of the industries in which they worked.

2. The revolutionary government had to face the counterrevolutionary military forces of the White Army, formed essentially by conservatives, royalist officers and troops from European nations who feared the dissemination of the Russian people's revolution to other nations.
3. After the Civil War, the Russian Communist Party came to represent the government of the country and was recognized as the only political group authorized to function.
4. Signed on March 3, 1918, the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk withdrew Russia from World War I and liberated regions previously controlled by the Tsarist regime, such as Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland and Finland.
5. After 1921, there was the implementation of war communism, marked by rigorous actions of economic intervention that aimed to guarantee the maintenance of the Red Army.

War communism deeply marked the relationship between the nascent Soviet state and the Russian peasant class, with a view to supplying the Red Army and controlling the distribution of food. About this period of Soviet history, indicate the correct alternative :

1. Control of food distribution has extinguished the black market.
2. The forced requisition of food produced by the peasants created a strong opposition of this class with the State.
3. Industrial production turned to the production of individual consumer goods.
4. Workers were able to organize themselves freely inside the factories.
5. It was a period of increasing political freedom.

Children, weak old men, died by the thousands [...] The country was completely exhausted, production almost stopped, there was no longer any reserve of anything, not even nervous reserves in the soul of the masses. The elite proletariat, formed by the struggles of the old regime, was literally decimated.
