Answer:
Explanation:
I think you are intended to answer true, but it isn't true.
For both Russia and Germany, the question is when? During what time period.
Russia was under a monarchy until 1917 when the Russian Revolution occurred. What ensued didn't help the peasantry much which it was intendent to free. Stalin particularly was a monster along with all his henchmen (like Beria) who killed as many people as did the war probably more.
Germany was living under the Weimer republic when Hitler began his rise to power. One of the things you have to know about Hitler is that he did everything legally. He didn't just grab power. Each step he took was with the help of the Ballot box. Once he got into power, his madness came to the forefront, and rulership method changed.
I would ask your teacher how they think it should be answered.
