Russia
Travel to Russia via the World Wide Web at http://www.geographia.com/russia/rushis01.htm, and browse through various links about the history of Russia. One of the most important events of the late twentieth century was the breakup of the Soviet Union. Compare the revolution that brought in the Communist Era with the coup that ended it. Create a Venn diagram, and complete it with information about both events. A Venn diagram is made up of two circles which overlap slightly. Each circle should represent one of the revolutions. In each circle, list information about that particular revolution. The area where the two circles overlap should contain the same information for both events.
