Day 3: Tuesday 1930

Dear Diary,
What an outrage! Take a look at this newspaper clipping.

JOSEPH STALIN ABOLISHES ZHENOTDEL!
After male communists complaints and several citizens writing in to their government, Joseph Stalin abolishes Zhenotdel, a women's department in Russian government. We could not get Comrade Stalin to comment on the issue himself, but a communist party insider tells us, "Zhenotdel was a waste of time and money, women don't need to be in government. Comrade Stalin has made the right choice." Keep reading Communist Post to stay updating on this story.

I guess I set my hopes up too high. Turns out Communist Women's Liberation has it's limitations too. As well as my new employed job across the street, I'm still having to manage all the housework and childcare on my own because, according to my husband it's a "women's job".  The work load is coming in by the truckloads, there is no hope for us women in the near future.
Until Tomorrow,
Anna♡

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 e...

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♡

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♡
