Economy with the Czars:
The economy in Russia is not always good
But we always pull through, like we should.
It was in the time of Nicholas II, the last Czar
But yet he never got very far.
He made many reforms
But yet he was trying not to conform
He was the cause of Bloody Sunday
and would forever be held accountable for that day.
He put Russia through two wars
but they were not victors.
The Germans were to advanced in WWI
He caused many problems for Russians
They were sure to have a repercussion.
The civil war was fought between
The red and the white army, oh what a scene.
The red army won, victory was seen.
That was the beginning of a democracy.

USSR:
Stalin became the leader in 1924
He died in 1953, on the floor.
He was harsh and cruel, the worst of them all
but he didn't do well being able to rule.
people hated him for many reasons
people who talked badly of him were charged with treason.
He used police terror, censorship and indoctrination
Because of that, Russia became a bad location.
Stalin died and Gorbachev stepped in
He started in 1985 until the collapse in 1991 which was a sin
He was able to join the Communist Party in 1952
Even though the party was a big crew
He was the one who told others to take the Berlin Wall down
that action was very renowned
Gorbachev called for a more open economy
he was good for Russia, many would agree
except for his own communist party
He resigned in 1991
After that, another revolution had begun

Yeltsin and Putin:
Boris Yeltsin became the first president of the Russian Federation
The USSR was a distant nation
He adopted a plan known as Shock Therapy
Tried his best to remove price controls but it ended horribly
Chechnya tried to become independent
But Yeltsin wouldnt let them because he wanted to be ascendant
In 1999, Yeltsin resigned
Putin became president, people thought he was kind
The war in Chechnya raged on
150 people died and now they are gone
The economic problems continued
Putin isnt doing a good job, so now there are issues
Putin tried too hard for the country
But yet a lot of people in Russia think he is funny
America knows that they dont have a democracy
So this shows that they dont have a policy
Russia will hopefully be able to get with the times
So better yet, Putin will try his best to stop the crimes
