Vladimir Lenin. At the time of the Russian Revolution, the country was a mess for all except the very rich and the nobles. Food was very scarce and speculators would buy up food and hoard it driving the price way up while some people starved. Bandits were active throughout the country stealing anything at gunpoint so that they could buy food. Meanwhile the country had been at war with Germany and the previous law enforcement was the Czar’s’ police who were now overthrown and there were no law enforcement officers in most places. Much of the nation was in chaos. Lenin and others urged extreme measures which were used to stabilize things at a horrendous cost in human rights and human life. Many Russians were shot, having been unjustly accused by people settling scores. Terror meant the act of terrorizing people in order to get them to behave in a certain way—not unlike the purpose of modern terrorists.
