On November 7, 1917 (October 25 in the Russian calendar), the October Revolution broke out in Russia, establishing the world's first socialist state. Thus began a new era: the era of the proletarian revolution. Leading this revolution was Lenin, the leader of the Russian Bolsheviks.
Lenin's original name was Vladimir. Ilyich. Ulyanov (1870-1924), Lenin was his pen name. Lenin was born in the Russian city of Simbirsk on the Volga River to a teacher's father and Maria, a mother who was born into a relatively wealthy family and loved music and literature. In 1887 he entered kazan University to study law, and in the same year his brother Alexander failed to assassinate the Tsar, which had a great influence on him. In 1887 he obtained a diploma through the examinations of st. Petersburg University, in 1891 he formed a Marxist group, in 1892 he began translating the Communist Manifesto, in 1903 Leninism was born, and in 1917 he led the Russian October Revolution.
Lenin was the great proletarian revolutionary, his mentor. He was the main founder of Leninism and the founder of socialist revolution and construction. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Western capitalism developed from the stage of private monopoly to the stage of state monopoly, also known as imperialism. The role of state power in the market is significantly strengthened. Imperialism has set off a wave of partitioning the world, and the world monopoly system and the world colonial system have gradually taken shape. Russia became the weakest link in the world monopoly system.
In 1903, Lenin combined the basic tenets of Marxism with the reality of Russia and created Leninism. Leninism was formed in the struggle against all kinds of pseudo-Marxism in the Second International and in the struggle against all kinds of opportunism in the Party. It is Marxism in the imperialist stage. Lenin's writings are always full of struggle, full of argument, always with a mighty force, and as Stalin said, his oratorical works are like holding you in the grip of your tentacles, making you unable to break free.
Imperialism is the eve of socialism.
--Lenin
In the practice of revolution and construction in Russia, Lenin gradually realized the arduousness, complexity and long-term nature of Socialism in Russia. He put an end to the wartime communist policy in time according to the actual situation and adopted the New Economic Policy. The various policies adopted by Lenin in Russia became the blueprint or source of ideas for the construction of socialism in later generations.
In 1991, the glorious and powerful Soviet Union suddenly disintegrated, Russia became her successor state, in the treatment of soviet history and Lenin, Stalin's historical evaluation of the emergence of extreme polarity, according to the Russian historical archives, they denied Stalin, in recent years also believe that Lenin is the first tyrant of the Soviet Union, provoking the relationship between Lenin and Stalin. In essence Lenin and Stalin were truly great Marxists, and although they inevitably made mistakes of one kind or another on the road of exploration, they were still a true proletarian revolutionary and teacher.
Leninism still has a guiding role in the study of contemporary imperialism. Using capitalism to defeat capitalism has become an important idea in our construction of socialism. Finance capital became the true rulers of Western capitalism today, and they became the object of Leninist criticism a hundred years ago. Most of the world has now gained independence, but Lenin believes that some countries have gained independence only in name, and they are entangled by imperialism with all kinds of invisible threads and become their vassals.
Contemporary China has developed into a new era, and common prosperity is the main direction of the current society. The problems that Lenin saw and criticized also existed in China, such as monopoly, the new three mountains. Fortunately, the state has already seen the problem and has taken various measures to overcome difficulties.
One hundred years have passed, and we have inherited the will of our predecessors and continued to advance in realizing modernization and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
