LENIN 1870-1924

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov Lenin political leader most responsible for the establishment of Communism in Russia. As a staunch adherents of Karl Marx and the faithful, Lenin laid the political foundation that can only be imagined by Karl Marx one. Lenin was so rapid spread of Communism throughout the world, he must be recognized as one of the most influential in human history.

Born in Simbirsk (now Ulyanovsk in his honor instead so) in 1870. His father was an obedient servant but his brother Alexander was a radical who was sentenced to death for taking part in a plot to kill Tsar. At the age of twenty-three Lenin had become an ardent Marxist. In December 1895 he was arrested by the Tsar for his revolutionary activities and put in prison for fourteen months. After that he was exiled to Siberia.

For three years in Siberia (which does not seem digubrisnya as torture) he married a woman who also wrote the book berfaham revolutionary and Growth of Capitalism in Russia. The period of exile in Siberia ended in February 1900 and several months later Lenin traveled to Western Europe. No less than seventeen years he wandered, becoming a professor revolutionary. When the Social-Democratic Labour Party of Russia which Lenin so members broke into two parts, so the leadership of Lenin larger fragments, the Bolsheviks.


World War I open up great opportunities for Lenin. The war was disastrous for both military and the Russian economy and consequently increase the discontent of the people to the Tsarist system of government. Finally, the tsarist government was overthrown in March 1917 and for the time being it seems Russia is led by a democratic government. Upon hearing the fall of the Tsar, Lenin hurriedly returned to. Russia and on arrival in his native country he can quickly view and conclude that the democratic parties - even though they had set up a provisional government - did not have enough strength and power is very good condition Communist Party had made a strong discipline to handle the situation under control even if its members a bit. Therefore, the Bolsheviks Lenin pushed forward jump mengguhngkan interim government and replace it with a Communist government. Trial in July uprising failed and forced Lenin into hiding. The second trial in November 1917 and Lenin had become the new head of state.As head of government, Lenin hard but on the other hand he is very pragmatic. At first he was proposing an uncompromising pressure of a short transition toward a society whose economy is entirely based on socialism. When this is not the way, Lenin gracefully back and take the road system of the capitalist-socialist mixed economy. It runs in the Soviet Union for several years.In May 1922 Lenin was ill, so that the attack was sick to death of Lenin in 1924 practically can not do anything about it. Once dead, his body was carefully embalmed and preserved, was laid in the mausoleum in Red Square today.Important feature of Lenin is that he's a fast-acting, so she was the one who established a Communist government in Russia. He embraced the teachings of Karl Marx and translated in the form of real practical political action. Since November 1917 there has been expansion of Communist power throughout the world. Now, about a third of world population embraced the Communist ideology.Even though the significance of Lenin lies in a practical political leader, Lenin also support the influence through the writings. Lenin's thoughts are not incompatible with Marx but there is a change in pressure. Lenin too impressed by the tactics of the revolution and he felt had a special advantage in this affair. He constantly stressed the need for the use of force: "There is no problem whatever in relation to class struggle can be resolved without violence," is a trademark. Marx linked the need for the dictatorship of the proletariat only occasionally, but Lenin was too tempted by it. For example, saying: "The dictatorship of the proletariat instead of none other than the power based on violence that has no limits, either the legal limit and the limit of absolute rule."Lenin's idea of ​​the dictatorship is actually more important politically than economically. Most basic feature of the Soviet government was not in the field of political economy (a lot of socialist governments in many countries) but the more basic features of the technique lies in maintaining political power for an indefinite period. As from when Lenin lived, not a single Communist government anywhere in the world - once-powerful standing with - can be deposed. With the careful supervision of all institutions of power in the country - mass media, banks, churches, trade unions and others - seem to have eroded the Communist government for the possibility of overthrowing the government. There could be weak points in strength, but no one could find it.Communism obviously clear bin is great movements that have historical significance. It is not really clear who can be considered the most influential in this movement, Marx or Lenin. I think Marx has more meaning because he precedes pentirig and influence of Lenin. But this assumption can still be denied because of the ability of Lenin's politics is a factor that is very complicated in terms of establishing Communism in Russia. Without the role of Lenin, the Communists it must wait years to have any chance of holding power and will face a more organized resistance. Therefore, it is not impossible not to succeed. In terms of establishing the significance of Lenin, one must not forget how short the days of holding. Also, the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat in the Soviet Union more than a replacement thanks to Lenin, Stalin tougher.Throughout his life Lenin was a hard worker and diligent. He is a well-known and the number of books he wrote no less than 55 vol. He dedicated his whole life to the goals of the revolution, and although he loved his family, he did not want to work undisturbed. Ironically, let him spend the whole age in the experiment to eliminate oppression, achievements of the struggle is the destruction of all aspects of personal freedom.
