IRL#4

http://video.google.com/videosearch?client=safari&rls=en&q=lenin's%20ways%20of%20maintaining%20power&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wv#

This is a video, made by high school students, that summarizes the steps Lenin took to maintain power with the Bolsheviks over Russia. It enhances what we learned in class today by clearly and simply illustrating the policies Lenin put in place, such as the land decree which distributed the money and land of the rich among the peasants, and by making it easy to remember with audio and subtitles etc.
The limitations are many and pretty great when using this source because it only came from high school students and it is a mock summary of Lenin's policies with lack/inaccuracy of details, but at least it is valuable for understanding and remembering the basics of Lenin's methods for maintaining power.
