Why was Vladimir Lenin so significant?
Among all the leaders in the 20th century, Lenin is arguably the most significant person in the world of Russian politics. Exiled by the Russian government for his reformation and radical views, Lenin spent his time thinking and forming up his own government under heavy influence of Marx. Derived from "The Communist Manifesto", Lenin created a system of government that would later impact the whole world. Lenin had created his own political party called the Bolsheviks in 1903. While Lenin was in his own world, thinking about the future Russia, the whole Europe as well as Russia were in the chaos of WWI (from 1914 to 1918). Russia, having lost almost 4 million men to the war, is on the brink of national chaos. Its people were demanding cessation of the war, land reform and an end to shortages of food and goods. The Tsar of Russia, Nicholas Romanov II is overthrown in March 1917 while Lenin was in Switzerland. Germany, taking this as an advantage, sends the exiled Lenin to Russia and encourages him to pursue his ultimate dream of a communist revolution. Why did Germans do it? Because Lenin was against the WW I, and if by any chance Lenin seized power, then Russia will no longer be Germany's eastern enemy. Lenin returns to Russia in April 1917 and immediately begins agitating against the new Russian Provisional Government. In the October Revolution, Lenin and the Bolsheviks seize control of the government from the Provisional Government and take over Russia. He now creates a communist country that is called the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic later to be named the U.S.S.R. (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) and immediately changes the whole Russia upside down. Many Russian people and political parties who had tolerated the Bolshevik takeover now became thoroughly disenchanted by Lenin's ruthless suppression of dissent from his dictates. This leads to the Russian Civil War. Leon Trotsky now in command of the Red Army, defeats the opposing forces known as the White Army and White Russians. Lenin's takeover is now complete.There were some good effects such as stability but ruthless killing and dictatorship was imminent. Lenin later dies in 1924 after suffering several strokes.
Was it Kerensky or Lenin who kept Russia involved in World War 1?
Kerensky, who led Provsional Government. Lenin was able to gain support to overthrow that government because he promised to withdraw from the war if he and his Bolsheviks gained power. Lenin made good on that promise with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
Did Stalin make russia an industrial power before or after the Russian revolution?
The Russian Revolution was carried out by Lenin in 1917. Stalin succeeded him in 1924. From this, we can infer that he made Russia an industrial power AFTER the revolution.
What man founded the Soviet Union?
Vladimir Lenin, a Communist, overthrew the government of the Russian Empire in 1917 with a rebellion. A war followed; it lasted five years. In 1922, Lenin officially set up the government in Moscow and coined the term "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics."
