Lenin and His Relation to the Revolution
Lenin was the creator of the revolution as he was the one who
influenced the starting of communist ideas and also the one who helped
remove the Tsar. However, Lenin was the saviour because he helped
encourage new ideas and courses of action, bringing the revolution
back to life. Lenin was also the destroyer of the revolution because
his ideas never came true and it was the fact that he never forced any
of these ideas into action that caused the revolution to break down.
I will now go on to discuss how these are true.
Lenin felt like it was his point in life to revolt. His brother
plotted against the Tsar as well but was caught; this inspired Lenin
to fight and to attempt to gain control of the country. This event
could have been the start of all his future attempts to become leader
and many believe that this was where his evilness began. Lenin
believed in Marxism and the fact that the workers (or proletariat) of
the country would stand up for themselves. They would revolt until
they got what they wanted, because workers are a large proportion of
the population in Russia they would be able to do this. Lenin
believed that when they demanded this to occur that the Tsar would not
give it to them; this meant that the peasants would support anybody
who gave them what they wanted. This is known as Marxism where the
workers are given what they wanted as they are the majority of the
population. This was hopefully going to change into socialism (where
all industries are merged and the government deals with the profit)
and then into communism (where workers are then made more important
such that there are similar ideas to socialism but with no class
boundaries in the population). However, the Tsar was very good at
suppressing any people trying to revolutionise the country and would
have easily put Lenin and his ideas down.
...transform rural areas into urban ones; and that is exactly what he did. He did vast transformations and now had another large accomplishment to be known for.

In order to establish whether Lenin did, indeed lay the foundation for Stalinism, two questions need to be answered; what were Lenin’s plans for the future of Russia and what exactly gave rise to Stalinism? Official Soviet historians of the time at which Stalin was in power would have argued that each one answers the other. Similarly, Western historians saw Lenin as an important figure in the establishment of Stalin’s socialist state. This can be partly attributed to the prevailing current of pro-Stalin anti-Hitler sentiments amongst westerners until the outbreak of the cold war.
He used the media as a tool and he knew that what people read and what they see and hear directly affect what they think.
In the end, he gave away about 90% of his own money to various causes. He also preached to others to do the same as in giving money for education and sciences.The problem, however, was that there was such a contrast between the rich and the poor. By this he was referring to the inequalities in rights, hereditary powers, and such things. He also felt we should have a continuum of forward progress, i.e.
There are many people who have lived through and within the Bolshevik Revolution, so there are a multitudinous variety of perspectives, thoughts, and insights about the revolution. The Bolshevik Revolution is known for many things; some say that the revolution helped women become free of control, and others proclaim that it did nothing but continue to hold women captive of their desired rights. The Bolshevik Revolution article states the side of a history professor Richard Stites, who argues yes the revolution benefited the women whilst the other side is declared no the revolution did no justice for women at all, which was argued by a Russian scholar, Lesly A. Rimmel. The opposing arguments both create an effective view on the revolution, and
Leon Trotsky, to a large extent, made a meaningful impact in the early stages of his life, through to the Bolshevik consolidation period. However, after Stalin’s rise to power, Trotsky’s failed to continue to have a meaningful impact on his time. Trotsky was instrumental with the engagement and spread of socialist ideas prior to and in 1917 which had the most meaningful impact on his time due to the establishment of the first socialist state in the world. During the Bolshevik consolidation period, Trotsky continued to have a meaningful impact on his time as Commissar of Foreign affairs and Commissar of War, as it sustained the first socialist revolution. Although, upon his exile, despite continuing revolutionary activities Trotsky did not

Isaac Murrin Mr. J. Pharion Freshman English 20 February 2013 The Similarities and Differences between Lenin and Stalin Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin were similar in what they claimed to be, but in actuality they were very different people. Although Stalin claimed that he followed Leninism, the philosophy that Lenin developed from Marxism, he often distorted it to follow what he wanted to do. While Lenin wanted to make a unified society without classes, with production in the hands of the people, while Stalin wanted to make Russia into a modern industrial powerhouse by using the government to control production. Lenin accomplished his goals through violence, because he thought achieving the Communist revolution was worth using violence, with a ‘The ends justify the means’ mentality. Stalin also used violence to accomplish his goals, however Stalin used much more violence than was often necessary to accomplish his goals.
Rule of Lenin vs the Tsar The beginning of the 20th century saw a great change in the political structure of the Russia. A country once led under an autocracy leadership. was suddenly changed into a communist state overnight. Dictatorship and communism are at separate ends of the political spectrum. This study so clearly shows both involve the oppression of society and a strict regime in which people are unable to voice their opinions.
How significant was Lenin’s leadership in the Bolshevik Consolidation of power in 1924? Lenin's leadership was a crucial factor in consolidating Bolshevik power up until his death in 1924. His pragmatic leadership helped gain some initial support as well as giving him unquestioned authority within the party. Furthermore, his push for the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk to help save the revolution from foreign invasion was crucial and his practicality was further exemplified through War Communism and the introduction of the New Economic Policy (NEP). The use of terror under Lenin's rule was also highly effective in removing political dissidents and exerting Bolshevik authority through coercive measures like the Cheka and the Red Terror.
