Tan Sitong once said this sentence at the time of the reform revolution:
"There have been no changers in the past and the present who have sacrificed without bloodshed, and today's China has changed the law and shed blood and sacrificed themselves."
That's what he said and that's what he did.
After the failure of the Restoration, he became the first person to sound the alarm with his life, and a few decades later, in another country, a man who also longed for the progress of the country was also sacrificed: Lenin, the founder of Russia.
Russia at that time was the present Russia, which has been among the world's great powers since its founding, but because of the fainting and incompetence of the Tsarist Emperor, lenin was one of them, and many Progressives and students in Russia wanted to change the situation in various ways.
In 1891, lenin came into contact with the Marxist ideas transmitted from Germany and felt that this idea was very suitable for Russia, which had a large workers' force, and could help Russia get out of the predicament of the time, so he combined Marxism with the national conditions at that time and formed Marxism that belonged only to Russia, established the Bolshevik party, and began a long revolution.
A few years later, the defeat of the Russian-Japanese war and the lack of strength of Russia in World War I made the people very dissatisfied and made the already unstable Tsarist dynasty even more dangerous.
The outbreak of the revolution in Russia in 1917 followed by the coexistence of two parties, which Lenin soon broke and established Soviet power belonging to the workers, what we call the Soviet Union.
It is said that the higher he stands, the easier it is to be jealous, lenin is like this, he helped Russia to a new era, but also caused the jealousy and hatred of many people, in the second year of his establishment of Soviet power, he was assassinated in public, although he did not die directly at that time, but after all, he was a person who walked through the ghost gate, his physical condition deteriorated, he often fell ill, and he needed to recuperate.
However, at that time, the Soviet Union had just been established, and the tigers at home and abroad were eyeing each other, and he often brought illness to work, and after a few years, he finally could not support the death of illness.
Lenin's death was undoubtedly a blockbuster news, when millions of people attended his memorial service, because the people of the Soviet Union did not want the departure of the great president, so the top invited many doctors and chemists, made the body special treatment, so that he could be immortal, and put on his favorite clothes.
After all the preparations were completed, Lenin was placed in a special crystal coffin, and there was a special memorial for people to visit.
However, during World War II, because of the German invasion, the Soviet high-level once removed Lenin's body from the crystal coffin, because of improper protection, the body was largely decomposed.
After Germany withdrew from the Soviet Union, Lenin's body was put back into the crystal coffin again, but at that time, the body of the revolutionary pioneer was only a head intact, and under consultation, the Soviet leadership at that time decided to reshape his body with wax and continue to preserve it.
In this way, Lenin's body has been preserved for nearly a hundred years, and it takes millions of dollars every year, and some people once suggested giving up the preservation of Lenin's body, but Putin directly rejected it, saying that as long as he is still the president of Russia, he will always keep the body of the pioneer of the founding revolution.
In fact, Putin's approach is also understandable, although the current people have not witnessed Lenin's ruling period, but they still know a lot from the history books, and they are also full of respect for Lenin, if Lenin's body is cremated in this way, it will cause a big impact on the Russian people.
Looking back at the entire history of Russia, the most powerful time was the Soviet period, and Lenin represented that period. Putin is an ambitious man who hopes to lead Russia to a new era, so he also wants to realize his political blueprint in the presence of his predecessors.
The last point is that Russia has military strength comparable to the United States today, the main reason is to inherit the military strength of the Soviet Union, if the burial of Lenin means to demarcate the boundary with the Soviet Union, this is a forgotten practice, Special Forces born Putin has absolute integrity and loyalty, naturally will not allow such a practice, so in any case Putin will not give up preserving Lenin's body.
