Past 2009 question

[Hye]

Russia [November 1917-1924 death of Lenin]
Historian Orlando Figes has stated that Lenin’s Bolshevik Party ‘set out with high ideals, only to find out later that the outcome was quite different’.
To what extent had the original ideals of the Bolshevik Party been altered by 1924? Use evidence to support your response.

Any ideas on this? What events should i include as supporting evidence?

Thanks

you could talk about war communism and the NEP as your main argument.
