Vladimir Lenin And The Bolshevik Revolution

While comparing the two classics, High Noon and “The Most Dangerous Game”, I found many similarities. High Noon takes place in a lawless, western town. The main character, Will Kane is faced with the difficult decision of whether to leave town or stay and risk death by Frank Miller, who was pardoned for murder. In “ The Most Dangerous Game”, the main character, Rainsford, a hunter who sympathizes with the hunted animals, is stuck on the stranded island called Ship-Trap. He is stuck there with General Zaroff, who owns the island and is trying to kill him as a part of the most dangerous game. Even though what is written above is different in each story, and High Noon and “The Most Dangerous Game” are very different stories, upon further

In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee, there are many different lessons to be learned. The primary theme conveyed in To Kill a Mockingbird is courage. Lee wanted the reader to know that it is important to always be courageous and to stand up for what you believe in not matter what anyone else thinks. I believe Atticus was the courageous character in this book. He himself was a courageous man and he taught others how to be courageous as well. The overall message of the book is to be courageous and not to let anyone or anything stand in the way. Lee conveys the message by using character development and conflict.

He left Trotsky in charge of planning the event, and he became the main leader of the Bolsheviks, the communist party he founded. In an attempt to bring the government down,in November 6th the Red Guards, first took main points in the city of Petrograd . Not many people were killed in the process. In November 8, the soldiers decided to take the Winter Palace. Here the Provisional Government surrendered and were captured and arrested.Lenin then gave a speech, revealing his own self and announcing that the government he was creating.

Lenin and Trotsky formed the Red Guard and set up the Military Revolutionary Committee which planned the October Revolution. The revolution itself was reasonably peaceful. The plan was to storm the Winter Palace but, almost everybody had lost faith in the provisional government and its leader Korensky had already evacuated the capital. Initially the effects of this were that the Bolsheviks came into power, the long term effects were they remained in power for most of the century.

Analyzing the Bolshevik State compared to Marxism can be difficult because Marx, Engels and their followers gave relatively little thought to what the state would look like after a socialist revolution. Engels famously wrote, “the state is not ‘abolished,’ it withers away,” which highlights the hazy and unfixed nature of Marx and Engle’s writings on the ultimate, classless society they envisioned. Further, what they did write is subject to the differing interpretations by numerous socialist parties all claiming to be Marxist. As discussed earlier, Lenin claimed he simply reshaped Marxism to fit the conditions of Russia. Others argue his interpretation was not true Marxism at all. However, the basic principles of a socialist state in the eyes of Marx’s are outlined in the Communist Manifesto as follows:

The Russian Revolution was a series of two revolutions that consisted of the February Revolution and the October Revolution. The February Revolution of March 8th, 1917 was a revolution targeted and successfully removed Czar Nicholas II from power. The February Revolution first began to take place when strikes and public protests between 1916 and early 1917 started occurring. These strikes were created to protest against and to blame Czar Nicholas II for Russia’s poor performance in WWI and severe food shortages that the country facing. Soon, violence between protesters and authorities began to escalate, and on February 24th, 1917 in the city of Petrograd, hundreds of thousands of male and female workers flooded the streets. They all had the same purpose which was to protest against the “Great War” and the monarchy. The protests began to escalate and the vastly outnumbered police were unable to control the crowds. When news of the unrest reached the czar, he ordered the military to put an end to the riots by the next day, and on February 26th, 1917, several troops of a local guard regiment fired upon the crowds, but however many soldiers felt pity and empathy for the protesters than the czar, and on the next day, more than 80,000 soldiers join the protest even directly fighting the police.

The Russian Revolution is a series of political events that occurred during the years 1905 to 1924. The February Revolution, in which overthrew the imperial government and the October Revolution, placed the Bolsheviks in power (britannica.com). The Russian Revolution happened because of discontentment of with the tsar, poverty in Russia, and lack of control over the government. During the In January of 1905, protesters were protesting in front of the winter palace because of extreme poverty and starvation due to peasants’ wages decreasing. The Russian workers and peasants wanted a better working and living conditions. More than 1000 protesters were killed and injured after the tsar, Nicholas the II, ordered his army to gun down the protesters. This incident, known as Bloody Sunday, led to the 1905 revolution. During the 1905 revolution, Russian Social Democratic Social Party split into two factions, the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks. Later in October of 1905, Nicholas the II issued the October Manifesto, which ended the Russian Revolution of 1905. In July of 1914, World War I begun which caused the Russians a lot of damage because four million Russian soldiers killed, wounded or captured. The Russian Soldiers refused the fight and people back in Russian were starving because of the lack of income from the war. World War I also caused the tsar to lose control of Russia as the war has caused chaos in Russia. Soon, continuous protests and revolts led to the March Revolution of

The Communist Manifesto published by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels: The foundation of revolutionary socialism or communism

Rising up from an average existence in middle class Russia Vladimir lenin became the most powerful man in all of his nation, and ultimately died starting a downfall of his beloved country.

In 1912, Joseph Stalin was appointed by Vladimir Lenin to serve on the first central committee of the Bolshevik Party. The Bolsheviks were a member of the Russian Social Democratic Party. After the October Revolution on November 9, 1917, in which they seized power in Russia, they were renamed the Communist Party. A little over a year later, on January 22, 1918, Ukraine declared independence as the Ukrainian National Republic. Then, in 1920, the Bolsheviks gained control of Ukraine with the help of Lenin’s Red Army.

establishing legitimacy, and caused mass desertion. Every day thousands of peasants abandoned the war front, though some historians believe less. The May 11 Declaration of Soldier’s Rights, and July 12 desertion death penalty were ineffective as well. The Government’s war, built dissent and disloyalty, which were key to the Revolution. The Government also failed to address issues of land distribution and food shortages, and the people were unsatisfied by empty promises. This created a platform for the revolutionary slogan: “Peace, Land, and Bread”. Inaction was blamed upon the absence of a Constituent Assembly, and thus the Government appeared powerless. Kerensky also opted for non-militant governing, met ironically with Lenin’s claim

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known as his alias, Vladimir Lenin or even as simply as Lenin, was an influential and highly significant Communist revolutionary and political theorist turned politician during the early twentieth century. Greatly acknowledged as the spearing head of Russia’s Communist movement, Lenin became the main founding father of the Soviet Union through his lead of the October Revolution of 1917 as the head of the Bolsheviks. But, gaining followers and forming a new government involved solidifying a political philosophy in order to effectively create any real social or political change. Lenin’s own political philosophy evolution began with his exposure to liberal radicalism against Tsar Alexander II. Through thorough

Known as the October Revolution or the Bolshevik Revolution, it was led by a group of revolutionary socialists called Bolsheviks. It brushed aside the Provisional Government. The Bolsheviks hoped that their revolution would result in more fundamental changes to carry out socialist revolutions. The Provisional Government was made up of liberal leaders, and as well as some moderate socialists.
