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 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 5: Thursday 1950

Dear Diary, Since I am suddenly so busy all the time, I really do not have time to write. Here is a letter from a pen-pall of mine in China. She is also a mother of two boys, which is partly why we're such good friends! Dear Anna, Our "women's liberation" is just as limited as yours. Although, we did get the Marriage Law passed, which allows women free choice of marriage, easier divorce, end of concubine and child marriage. This law is wonderful because now my 12 year old niece does not have to be married off to that retched man, who is much to old for her. It also includes equal property rights for women. The Chinese Communist Party is acting so well against the opposition of pro-female change, I could not be more proud! Women are getting more jobs day after day. Also, thank you for that hand crafted shampoo you sent me with your last letter! My hair is bouncier than ever thanks to you! Best wishes, 尺⋃ Ru seems to be doing fine, I need to make her mo...

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♡
