Nearly 30 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, most people demanded that Lenin be cremated and buried, and Putin was finalized
As an energy tycoon and the world's largest area, Russia has an irreplaceable position in today's world. It is also the only country north of Eurasia that spans two continents. Today's Russia is the largest part of the plate after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 1922, under the leadership of Lenin, the leader of the proletarian revolution, Soviet power was established.
This federal state, which developed rapidly after world war II, became the world's premier superpower. It can be said to some extent that there would be no United Nations without the Soviet Union. And these splendors are inseparable from this great man, who is Lenin.
A generation of great men
Lenin, as the spiritual leader of the proletariat, is not only synonymous with the period of a country's prosperity, but also a symbol of the spirit. In almost all the literary works of the last century in Russia, every time there is a fragment of Lenin's death, it is a very heavy description.
What best reflects an era is not the official texts that are written in the history books with critical significance, but the invisibly revealed atmosphere of that era in the many literary works of this era. From those words, the word Lenin is by no means as simple as a person or an identity.
There are many opinions about the reasons for the death of a generation of great men, including a bizarre assassination. In 1918, Lenin was assassinated after a speech. He suffered a gunshot wound to his shoulder and neck, and the bullet never removed his neck because it was too close to the blood vessels, and Lenin suffered for this.
It wasn't until 1922 that a top German surgeon performed shell removal surgery on him. Unfortunately, the operation was not very successful, because after January, Lenin suffered a stroke, which set the stage for his death. The suspect who assassinated him that year was a semi-blind woman, and when there was no sufficient evidence for the motive and link of the crime, she killed the "suspect" hastily and closed the case without any other explanation.
After Lenin's death, his body was placed in a crystal coffin. In order to preserve the integrity of the body, even the relevant committees have been set up, and even the formula of the antiseptic sesame oil used for him is the top secret of the state.
The first person to propose to immortalize his body was the leader of the time, Stalin. Although this move was met with many voices of opposition, in the end it was all overridden and made a matter of certainty, and it also had the true appearance of the leader of the proletarian revolution that we can still see today.
Many who do not recommend the preservation of Lenin's body are some old proletarian revolutionaries who believe that Stalin's move is a "violation of the conscience of the revolution", that the proletariat is a staunch materialist, and that the revolutionary leaders of the proletariat are "worshipped" against their original intentions. After Lenin's death, his wife also preferred cremation to the preservation of his body, and she once said that she opposed all formalistic remembrance. It's just that in the midst of the many voices, the drowned out disappeared without a trace.
2. Demolition background
Regarding the disintegration of the Soviet Union, in the words of our country, it is easy to fight the country and defend the country. The establishment of Soviet power in those years was a cause laid down by countless staunch proletarian benevolent men and women. Whatever you do, as long as a group of people have the same beliefs and are willing to fight together for one thing, the cohesion generated by this force is unimaginable. But this cohesion was exhausted in the many years after the founding of the Soviets.
After World War II, the Soviet Union was active in the international arena as a superpower. As everything got on track, corruption began to breed in the party, and gradually the impregnable superpower that had been hard to build up slowly eroded.
Seventy years have elapsed since the establishment of a federal state in 1922, to the whistle of the Cold War between the United States and Russia in 1946, to the complete collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. With the fall of the Soviet Union, the death of lenin, the leader of the former Soviet Union, became a hot topic of discussion in the next thirty years.
3. Popular petitions
Lenin's body was managed by a special committee in Russia, and the care was also carried out using the most advanced technology in the world. But after a long period of baptism, there are still problems. The biggest problem occurred during World War II. At that time, the situation was turbulent, and no place was absolutely safe. Even if Lenin was transferred to the capital, he could not escape the clutches of war.
Even the best crystal coffins and the best preservative oils require certain conditions. To preserve such a complete body, it is necessary to soak in the potion for fourteen days every eighteen months, in addition to which it must be an environment with a constant temperature of sixteen degrees and a humidity of less than seventy percent. In the era of war, such harsh conditions are nothing short of a fantasy.
Therefore, because of the incomplete conditions of preservation, first one of Lenin's legs was infected with bacteria and had to be amputated, then another, and in the end, except for the skull, no one else was spared. The amputated limbs were partially cremated and buried, and today we can see that almost all of them, except for the skull, are made of high imitation materials.
Knowing this fact, many people began to petition for burial, for two main reasons: the Soviet Union was gone forever, leaving behind the leaders of the former Soviet Union, which had disintegrated, was tantamount to informing the world of the defeat of the former Soviet Union at every moment. Second, the cost of preserving the body alone costs tens of millions of dollars a year.
Fourth, a hammer to make a final sound
In fact, the Russian people have a very special feeling for the Soviet Union, and in the hearts of many people, they actually want to restore the glory of the past. Putin was one of them, and there was a time when the government stopped allocating funds to the relevant committees because the cost of preserving the body was too high, and the result was a shocking thing.
When the people learned of this, they spontaneously raised funds to continue to preserve Lenin's body, which showed which side the people's hearts were turning towards. The Putin authorities, also very good at grasping the will of the people, gave this controversial matter a one-size-fits-all conclusion: the great proletarian revolutionary spirit represented by Lenin is there, and the people are there. In other words, "As long as I am in a day, no one should try to touch him."
5. Summary
Russia's history has always left the impression of a large country, a belligerent power and a poor country. The first two are not difficult to understand, and as for why they are poor, they mainly have to start from the characteristics of the country. First of all, Russia has been more fond of war since ancient times, and a war will at least have to push the country's economic development backwards by several years.
Secondly, Russia's main force, mainly used to develop the military industry, rarely pays attention to civilian industry, which is conducive to increasing economic strength, and finally, the population is small, and it is difficult to use consumption to drive the cycle of the economy. The Soviet era, however, was a rare era of glory in Russia. In terms of contribution in this respect, Lenin's "existence" and "disappearance" in Russia are also clear.
