Russian Revolution

The year is 1917, and you’ve just woken up in a strange place - you know it’s strange because this isn’t your home - it is not where you belong...There is a newspaper lying on your bedside table. It informs you that very unpopular Czar Nicholas II has abdicated his throne and there are several rival powers vying for control of the government. You realize you’ve woken up in the middle of World War I in RUSSIA! If your teacher has taught you anything, you know this for certain - there is about to be a revolution. A revolution that will allow communism to take hold for nearly seventy years. If you don’t want to remain in Communist Russia (and you don’t!), you have to piece together the clues left behind.
