Next they learn about the early Soviet Union and explain the relationship between Karl Marx and the Russian Revolution. Finally they analyze a political cartoon about the Red Scare in the United States. Students will collaborate in small groups for scene 3 to scene 4. Objectives

Objectives
The Election of Mikhail Romanov to the Throne
The Romanov period (1613–1917) of Russian history included the Golden Age of Russia, in which the country entered the modern age and became a mighty empire. Tsar Alexander II was a successful warrior and diplomat. He transformed the military, the administration, and the tax system, improving Russia’s industrialization. He freed the 20 million serfs in 1861. Some historians consider this the most important event in 19th-century Russian history. When the Industrial Revolution changed much of the western world, Russia remained a feudal agricultural society. Relations between the royal family and the majority of the population deteriorated, contributing to the Bolshevik revolution of 1917.
One of the slogans of the Bolshevik Revolution was “Peace, Land, and Bread!” Predict what this slogan meant.
Discuss student predictions. They are not expected to know details of the revolution.
