Who is Lenin? Do not know - ashamed!

"Who is Lenin?" - the younger generation asks this offending question more and more often. Returning social injustice seems to be the norm of life. But those who lived the teachings of Lenin, know that this is not the norm. In any case, his works are still available and even very topical. Moreover, the history of one's own country is simply necessary. And about who Lenin is, too. Seventy years the country lived according to his teaching - this is a rather large part of the life of the state. With great victories. With faith in tomorrow. Let's hope that Vladimir Lenin is alive.

Childhood

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin) was the fourth child in the family of the director of the national schools of the city of Simbirsk, Ilya Nikolaevich Ulyanov. The family was exceptionally friendly, because the mother devoted herself entirely to children. Extremely gifted pianist, excellently well-read - she had something to pass on to the children. And she herself is the best example before their eyes: never raising her voice, she is strict, but at the same time she is a kind-hearted woman, fair but able to understand her child and really get into the situation deeply. All five brothers and sisters of Lenin became revolutionaries. The elder, Alexander, was executed for attempting to assassinate Tsar Alexander III. Vladimir Ilyich always studied perfectly. Simbirsk High School graduated with a gold medal and entered Kazan University. For active participation in student unrest was expelled and deported to the village of Kokushkino.

Revolutionary

In 1888, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin became a professional revolutionary. The study of the "Capital" of Marx and the writings of Engels, Plekhanov, and Kautsky helped him in four years to comprehend all the heights and depths of political economy and philosophy. He carefully studied the conditions of management in Russia and the position of the proletariat and the peasantry. Simultaneously, Vladimir Ilyich was preparing to pass examinations at the University of St. Petersburg, and brilliantly withstood them, having received the diploma of assistant attorney. It was true that he did not practice law practice, because other goals and tasks determined all his aspirations. Even then, being quite young, he surprised his colleagues with the versatility and quality of knowledge and the intransigence of his convictions.

Who is Lenin?

Even his first philosophical works were brilliant. In 1894 a work entitled "What are the friends of the people ...", where the whole way of the working class through the revolution to freedom and prosperity against tsarism and capitalism and for socialism, was clearly clearer. Lenin continued the work of Marx and Engels, independently developing and developing their teaching. In 1897, he was sent to exile in Shushenskoye (Krasnoyarsk Territory). Here he worked hard on his books (including "The Development of Capitalism in Russia"). In his personal life, too, there were changes: he married Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya, who all his life was his first and most reliable assistant in all revolutionary affairs. At the same time in Shushenskoye Lenin came up with a means for rallying all the progressive forces of the country. This means later turned out to be the newspaper Iskra.

Party leader

In 1903, Lenin contributed to the early convening of the second congress of the Social-Democratic Labor Party. By this time the Social Democrats no longer had a question about who Lenin was. His works were not only studied everywhere, but also found their supporters and opponents. There, in London, the party found by him in Shushensky, split into Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, was revealed. So Bolshevism took shape as an independent political trend. All subsequent years, Lenin worked tirelessly, living semi-legally at home, then abroad. Most of the time he devoted himself to the study of labor reform, produced the newspaper Novoye Vremya, and conducted revolutionary enlightenment work. The first Russian revolution was brutally suppressed. Vladimir Ilyich revealed all the objective and subjective causes of failure. The following years, especially from 1908 to 1911, were very difficult.

The scientist-innovator

In 1911, the Party School for Workers began its work, where Lenin lectured on the theory and practice of Party policy. After the conference, the newspaper Pravda appeared in St. Petersburg. That's when the broadest sections of Russia's population learned about who Lenin was, what he was calling for and how he would lead the working class to victory in the revolution. Lenin directed the publication from abroad, wrote materials for it every day, which helped to attract most of the class-conscious workers to the cause. The First World War was greeted by the people by no means enthusiastic. And Lenin urged the belligerents to turn their weapons against bloody tsarism and capitalism. In 1915 he was justified the possibility of the victory of socialism in a single country. The February bourgeois revolution of 1917 caused Lenin from abroad to Petrograd. He edited Pravda, explaining the Bolshevik slogans and calls for a revolution that would be many times stronger than the February one. In addition, he conducted classes, delivered speeches in soldiers' barracks, in working shops. The number of supporters of the revolution grew rapidly. An order was issued to arrest Lenin. Work continued in the underground.

The organization of revolution

October 25, 1917 was accomplished! Lenin's contribution to the revolution is indeed enormous. His doctrine of the party as the leader of the proletariat in the struggle for his dictatorship was an irresistible force for the bourgeoisie and all its manifestations. In addition, Lenin became the founder and leader of a new philosophical trend of Marxist persuasion. The volume of his writings is enormous: fifty-five volumes of scholarly texts. And the value stated in them is immeasurable.
