Day 1: Sunday 1917

Dear Diary,
Today us Russians have rebelled against their country, deeming us free! Tomorrow we have a new leader named Joseph Stalin because Tsar Nicholas II had been forced to step down from the throne. The Bolsheviks have just seized power, lead by Vladimir Ulyanor, who act on behalf of the Soviets. This war has regimented our economy, suppressed nationalist rebellions, and committed countless aristocracies, but it was all worth it, for now we shall lead better lives. This war has even been good for the those lower class men,  who have been integrated into the Red Army and the local governments. Our government has turned so friendly, and it's only day 1. Communism will be good for our country, and I personally believe ever country would benefit from it!

As a mother of two messy, energetic, but sweet boys, I believe communism will help us women lead easier lives in our households. We shall be treated better, and even offered jobs in the workforce, to earn money! Oh how pleased my husband would be to see me making my way, on my own, and earning my own money. We are looking towards a great future, us women. I can feel it. 
Until Tomorrow,
Anna♡

Day 2: Monday 1919

Dear Diary, The USSR Communist Party has set up Zhenotdel, the Women's Department in government, that is pushing a feminist agenda! Oh, I knew the day would come. Our party has also developed "women's liberation" which deems women full, legal and political equality, what a time to be alive! This new women's liberation enables women legal divorce, abortion, pregnancy leave and the ability to work for money. My husband will be so pleased when he comes home to hear the news. My mother would have been so happy if she was still alive, she always knew this day would come and I have not given up since. My life will be changing drastically from this point forward. Goodbye housework, hello job! The extra money will be good for our children's future as well. Although they are only boys, they are both growing fast and there is barely enough food in this house to satisfy them. Until Tomorrow, Anna ♡

Day 4: Wednesday 1941

Dear Diary, The Terror has begun. The USSR has fallen to a state of paranoia! Many of our fellow citizen's are being sentenced to Gulags, harsh labor camps, because they are thought to be trying to restore capitalism! How am I supposed to know who to trust, who should I believe?! Men are being shot on the streets, almost one million people already! And it's not just Party members who are being shot, ordinary people are too. Just last night, a dear friend of ours, Tim, was shot but a secret police member after the accused him of being a secret capitalist. They didn't even give the man a second to explain himself. One second he was alive, the other he was dead. Oh, I don't want to think about it anymore! The length people will go to get people to agree with them is outrageous. One day, I hope to see a world were we can all get along. Until Tomorrow, Anna♡

Day 7: Saturday 2000

Dear Diary, Mikhail Gorbachev has become General Secretary and has launched an economic reform program, which has shown all the atrocities that Stalin has committed. He has also allowed free elections and has negotiated arms control with the United States in an attempt to end the Cold War. The USSR has officially collapsed. Gorbachev has refused to use force against the protesters of his reforms. As a result,  15 new states have emerged from the USSR and I'm not sure what we're going to do now. Communism has collapsed here, and Ru tells me it has collapsed in China as well. There is only one communist state left which is North Korea. As for me, life is the same as it was when I once started this diary, and I can't wait to see what the next week will bring! Wishing you the best, Anna♡
