Question

For this assignment, write two journal entries about life in Russia prior to the 1917 revolution. Each journal entry should be a four- to five-sentence paragraph. Write one journal entry from the point of view of a wealthy Russian, and one from the point of view of a working-class woman.

Answer 1

The Wealthy Russian should express fear about the many things occurring across the country, namely the killing of the royal family, and how they could be next. Maybe even mention something about fleeing country. Many nobles and wealthy aristocracy fled to other nations. 

The working class woman may express joy for the change. Sh would see hope in the new regime that promised to care for the workers. She would possibly have an easier better time of providing food and caring for her family. She could express a dislike for the killing, but she would not mention that to others in public. 

Answer 2

Life is difficult for the working class woman

We are hungry, cold and dying

We have lost husbands and sons in the war

The government cant help

We hope the bolsheviks can help us
