1. The February Revolution 1917 | 1917 年二月革命
Russia’s autocratic Tsarist regime collapsed in February 1917 under the strain of war, economic chaos and mass discontent. The immediate trigger was food shortages and strikes in Petrograd, which turned into a revolutionary movement when soldiers refused to fire on the crowds.
1917 年 2 月，在战争压力、经济混乱和民众普遍不满中，沙皇专制政权崩溃。直接导火索是彼得格勒的粮食短缺和罢工，当士兵拒绝向人群开枪时，罢工演变成革命。
The Tsar abdicated on 2 March (OS) and a Provisional Government was formed, sharing power with the Petrograd Soviet – a situation known as dual power. The Provisional Government’s failure to end the war or redistribute land fatally weakened its authority.
沙皇于 3 月 2 日退位，临时政府成立，与彼得格勒苏维埃分享权力——即双重权力局面。临时政府未能结束战争，也未进行土地再分配，严重削弱了其威信。
2. The October Revolution and Bolshevik Consolidation | 十月革命与布尔什维克巩固政权
Lenin’s April Theses demanded ‘peace, land, bread’ and an end to dual power. The Bolsheviks, exploiting the Provisional Government’s weakness, seized power on 25 October 1917 with a nearly bloodless coup in Petrograd, taking key installations and the Winter Palace.
列宁的《四月提纲》提出“和平、土地、面包”，并呼吁结束双重权力。布尔什维克利用临时政府的软弱，于 1917 年 10 月 25 日在彼得格勒发动几乎不流血的政变，占领了关键设施和冬宫。
The new regime immediately issued the Decree on Peace and the Decree on Land, securing peasant and soldier support. They disbanded the Constituent Assembly in January 1918 after they failed to win a majority, establishing one-party rule.
新政权立即颁布《和平法令》和《土地法令》，赢得农民和士兵的支持。1918 年 1 月，在立宪会议选举中未能获得多数后，布尔什维克强行解散了会议，建立一党专政。
3. Lenin’s Russia: Civil War and NEP | 列宁的俄国：内战与新经济政策
The Bolsheviks faced a brutal civil war (1918–21) against the Whites, Greens and foreign intervention. War Communism was introduced to supply the Red Army, with grain requisitioning and nationalisation of industry causing widespread famine and peasant revolt, notably at Kronstadt in 1921.
布尔什维克在 1918–21 年间与白军、绿军和外国干涉军进行了残酷内战。为供应红军而实行的战时共产主义，通过余粮收集制和工业国有化，导致了大规模饥荒与农民暴动，最著名的是 1921 年喀琅施塔得兵变。
In response, Lenin launched the New Economic Policy (NEP) in 1921, reintroducing limited market mechanisms, allowing peasants to sell surplus grain and denationalising small-scale industry. The NEP revived the economy but created ideological tensions within the Party.
作为回应，列宁于 1921 年推行新经济政策，重新引入有限的市场机制，允许农民出售余粮，并去国有化小型工业。新经济政策恢复了经济，却在党内引发了意识形态上的紧张。
4. Stalin’s Rise to Power | 斯大林的崛起
After Lenin’s death in 1924, a power struggle unfolded between Stalin, Trotsky, Kamenev, Zinoviev and Bukharin. Stalin skilfully manipulated Party appointments and used his position as General Secretary to isolate rivals, first allying with Kamenev and Zinoviev against Trotsky, then eliminating them too.
1924 年列宁去世后，斯大林、托洛茨基、加米涅夫、季诺维也夫和布哈林之间展开了权力斗争。斯大林巧妙操控党内任命，利用总书记职位排挤对手，先联合加米涅夫和季诺维也夫反对托洛茨基，再把他们一并清除。
Stalin’s advocacy of ‘Socialism in One Country’ outmanoeuvred Trotsky’s ‘Permanent Revolution’. By 1929, Stalin had defeated the Right Opposition led by Bukharin and emerged as the undisputed leader of the USSR.
斯大林提出“一国建成社会主义”，在理论上战胜了托洛茨基的“不断革命论”。到 1929 年，斯大林击败了以布哈林为首的右翼反对派，成为苏联无可争议的领袖。
5. Collectivisation and Industrialisation | 集体化与工业化
Stalin launched forced collectivisation of agriculture from 1929, confiscating land and livestock to create collective farms. Kulaks (richer peasants) were ‘liquidated as a class’, leading to mass deportations, shootings and a devastating famine in 1932–33, especially in Ukraine (Holodomor).
斯大林从 1929 年起推行强制农业集体化，没收土地和牲畜组建集体农庄。富农被“作为一个阶级消灭”，导致大规模流放、枪决以及 1932–33 年毁灭性大饥荒，特别在乌克兰（大饥荒）。
Industrialisation was driven through the Five-Year Plans, setting impossibly high targets for heavy industry. Propaganda campaigns like Stakhanovism pushed workers to exceed norms. The USSR became a major industrial power, but at immense human cost.
工业化通过五年计划推进，为重工业设定了极高目标。斯达汉诺夫运动等宣传鼓动工人超额完成任务。苏联成为主要工业强国，但付出了巨大的人道代价。
6. The Great Terror | 大恐怖
In the mid-1930s, a wave of purges engulfed the Communist Party, the Red Army and society. The murder of Kirov in 1934 served as a pretext for show trials of leading Old Bolsheviks like Zinoviev and Bukharin, who were forced to confess to fabricated crimes.
20 世纪 30 年代中期，清洗浪潮席卷了共产党、红军和社会各层。1934 年基洛夫被谋杀，成为对季诺维也夫、布哈林等老布尔什维克进行公审的借口，他们被迫供认捏造的罪行。
The Yezhovshchina (1937–38) saw NKVD mass operations, resulting in at least 680,000 executions and millions sent to the Gulag. The purges eliminated potential rivals but severely weakened the officer corps and administrative capacity just before WWII.
“叶若夫时代”（1937–38）期间，内务人民委员部大规模行动，至少 68 万人被处决，数百万人被关入古拉格。清洗消灭了潜在对手，却严重削弱了军官团和行政能力，正值二战前夕。
7. The Great Patriotic War (WWII) | 伟大的卫国战争（二战）
Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi invasion of June 1941, caught Stalin off guard. The USSR suffered colossal losses and retreated deep into its territory. Stalin’s initial failures gave way to ruthless mobilisation, relocating industry beyond the Urals and calling on patriotic sentiment.
1941 年 6 月，纳粹发动巴巴罗萨行动，斯大林措手不及。苏联损失惨重，大规模撤退。斯大林初期的失误后转为无情动员，将工业迁至乌拉尔山以东，并激发爱国热情。
The turning point came with the Battle of Stalingrad (1942–43) and the tank victory at Kursk (1943). The Red Army pushed the Germans back and captured Berlin in May 1945. The USSR emerged as a superpower, but with an estimated 27 million Soviet dead.
转折点包括斯大林格勒战役（1942–43）和库尔斯克坦克大会战（1943）。红军反攻至柏林，1945 年 5 月攻克柏林。苏联崛起为超级大国，但约有 2700 万苏联人丧生。
8. Khrushchev and De-Stalinisation | 赫鲁晓夫与非斯大林化
After Stalin’s death in 1953, Nikita Khrushchev emerged as leader after eliminating Beria and sidelining Malenkov. In the 1956 Secret Speech at the XX Party Congress, he denounced Stalin’s cult of personality and crimes, beginning the process of de-Stalinisation.
1953 年斯大林去世后，尼基塔·赫鲁晓夫在除掉贝利亚和排挤马林科夫后成为领导人。在 1956 年苏共二十大的秘密报告中，他谴责了斯大林的个人崇拜和罪行，开启了非斯大林化进程。
Khrushchev released millions of political prisoners, relaxed censorship, reduced the terror apparatus and shifted investment toward consumer goods and agriculture. The Virgin Lands Campaign and Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) were hallmarks of his rule. His erratic policies led to his ousting in 1964.
赫鲁晓夫释放了数百万政治犯，放松了审查制度，缩减了恐怖机构，将投资转向消费品和农业。处女地运动和古巴导弹危机（1962）是其统治标志。他政策多变不稳定，最终于 1964 年被赶下台。
9. Brezhnev Era: Stagnation | 勃列日涅夫时代：停滞
Leonid Brezhnev (1964–82) presided over an era of conservative stability, reversing many of Khrushchev’s reforms. The concept of ‘developed socialism’ was used to justify the status quo, while dissent was suppressed and the KGB regained influence.
列昂尼德·勃列日涅夫（1964–82）主导了一个保守稳定的时代，推翻了赫鲁晓夫的许多改革。“发达社会主义”概念被用来为现状辩护，同时异见人士遭到镇压，克格勃重新抬头。
The economy stagnated as the command system failed to innovate, reliant on oil exports. Massive military spending and the 1979 invasion of Afghanistan strained the budget. By the early 1980s, the USSR faced systemic crisis: falling life expectancy, corruption and a gerontocratic leadership.
命令式经济体制无法创新，依赖石油出口，经济陷入停滞。巨额军费开支和 1979 年入侵阿富汗消耗了财政。到 80 年代初，苏联面临系统性危机：平均寿命下降、腐败横行、领导层老人政治严重。
10. Gorbachev’s Reforms and the End of the USSR | 戈尔巴乔夫改革与苏联解体
When Mikhail Gorbachev became General Secretary in 1985, he introduced perestroika (economic restructuring) and glasnost (openness) to revitalise the USSR. Glasnost permitted public criticism of the past and present, unleashing nationalist and anti-communist forces.
米哈伊尔·戈尔巴乔夫于 1985 年出任总书记后，推行改革（经济重组）和公开性（开放性）以重振苏联。公开性允许公开批评过去与现状，释放出民族主义和反共力量。
Perestroika’s half-measures disrupted the planned economy without replacing it. Revolutions of 1989 in Eastern Europe and the rise of Yeltsin in Russia weakened central authority. A failed coup in August 1991 fatally undermined Gorbachev, and by December 1991 the USSR was dissolved.
改革的半吊子措施打乱了计划经济，却未能有效替代。1989 年东欧剧变和叶利钦在俄罗斯的崛起削弱了中央权威。1991 年 8 月一场失败的政变重创了戈尔巴乔夫，1991 年 12 月苏联正式解体。
