A totalitarian state, is a where the central government of a state does not tolerate any parties with opposing views and exercises complete dictatorial rule over all or most aspects of life. Lenin, the leader of the Bolsheviks, took many measures in an attempt to create a totalitarian state, including the dissolution of Constituent Assembly, the use of decrees and the establishment of a secret police group called the Cheka. However there were also some ways in which he failed to achieve full totalitarianism.

The Abandonment of the Constituent Assembly 1917
Straight after the October Revolution of 1917, Lenin promised to hold elections for a
parliament to be known as the Constituent Assembly
Lenin renamed the Bolshevik as the Communist party to win more support. However, the
communists only won 175 seats out of 700, not enough for a majority
Lenin decided to shut it down after one day, as he was not prepared to share power with
anyone


The Cheka
Lenin set up a secret police force to spy on workers in factories and villages
Anyone suspected to be anti-communist could be arrested, tortured and executed without a
trial
When opponents tried to assassinate Lenin in 1918, he launched the Red Terror campaign
against his enemies, where 50.000 people were arrested and executed
