Day 4: Wednesday 1941

Image result for the great purgeDear 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 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 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♡
