March 17, 2014

Today we announced who would be sent to the gulag, and Ivan read off "apologi[es] from other periods." (Jordan Wilder) I sent out the petition today, and we reached our quota! Way to go guys!
Around 1:35, we started totalitarianism presentations with NeKendra's group. At 1:37, the had to act out collective farming, and did a good job. NeKendra went around the room, collecting the goods, then went back around, distributing them to everyone except the Ukrainians, who were left to starve. Propaganda regarding collective farming made collective farming seem positive, however, the reality was grim, many Ukrainians left to starve.
At Stalin time, we learned that "RELIGION GOES AGAINST SCIENCE!!!!" (Brandon Chung). This is because science refutes the belief that there is a "god." Stalin did not approve of religion and made it public that he would discriminate against all religion and attempt to eliminate it.
