Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich (April 22, 1870 –January 21, 1924) was a Russian communist revolutionary, politician and political ideologist.
Since 1917 he served as the leader of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, and then concurrently, from 1922 up to his death, as the leader of the USSR.
Lenin followed the Marx ideology, which was greatly completed by his own thoughts, which became known as Leninism. Thus the combination of Marxism and Leninism became the official ideological basis of the USSR.
Born to a wealthy middle-class family in Simbirsk (now Ulyanovsk), Lenin became keen in revolutionary leftist politics due to his brother’s execution in 1887. Briefly attending the University of Kazan, he was ejected for his involvement in anti-Tsarist protests, and devoted the following years to gaining a degree in law and to radical politics.
In 1893 he moved to St. Petersburg, entered the League of Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class and soon became its senior member.
Charged with sedition and exiled to Siberia for three years, he married Nadezhda Krupskaya, and fled to Western Europe, where he by turns lived in Germany, England and Switzerland.
He returned Russia only in 1917, after the February Revolution resulted in the Tsar’s overthrow and the empowerment of the Stop-Gap Government.
Being the leader of the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, he took a leading role in managing the October Revolution in 1917, during which the Stop-Gap Government was overthrown.
After the Revolution, the Bolsheviks, leaded by Lenin established the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic – the world’s first constitutionally socialist state.
Immediately afterwards, Lenin issued the Decree on Land, according to which all estates and crown lands were transferred to the Workers’ Soviets.
Faced with the threat of the German invasion, he issued the Decree of Peace, which led to Russia’s immediate unilateral exit from the World War I.
In March 1921 Lenin proclaimed the New Economic Policy, a system of state capitalism that started the process of industrialization and recovery from the aftermath of the Russian Civil War, but represented a major departure from the Bolsheviks’ previous approach to running the Republic.
In 1922 Lenin became the leader of the USSR, which united the territories of the former Russian Empire.
After his death in 1924, Marxism–Leninism developed into a variety of philosophical doctrines, namely Stalinism, Trotskyism and Maoism.
Nowadays there are several conflicting perceptions of Lenin’s personality and his role in history. Calumniators have pigeonholed him a dictator whose governing oversaw a huge set of human rights abuses. But his followers have withstood these attacks referring to the limitations on his power and have promoted him as the leader of the world’s working class.
At any rate, Lenin, his thoughts and ideas, had a tremendous influence on the global Communist movement, and he remains one of the most powerful thinkers and politicians of the 20th century.
