A Revolutionary Thinker & Leader of the Russian
Revolution
QUICK FACTS
• WHO: VLADIMIR LENIN
• WHAT: POLITICAL SCIENTIST & JOURNALIST
• WHERE: RUSSIA
• WHEN: 1870-1924
• WHY HE IS IMPORTANT? HE FOUNDED THE
RUSSIAN COMMUNIST PARTY AND LED THE
BOLSHEVIK (COMMUNIST) REVOLUTION
WHAT HE BELIEVED
• WHILE STUDYING LAW, HE BECAME INTERESTED IN
RADICAL POLITICAL IDEAS.
• STUDIED “MARXISM”.
•
THIS WAS KARL MARX’S THEORY ON SOCIALISM.
• WITNESSED RUSSIA’S CLASS-BASED (HIERARCHY)
LEGAL SYSTEM & THE STRUGGLES THAT IT CAUSED.
•
POOR REMAINED POOR, RICH WERE GIVEN CERTAIN
ADVANTAGES.
ARREST AND EXILE
• HE BEGAN WORKING WITH OTHER SOCIALISTS
(COMMUNISTS).
• THEY WERE ARRESTED IN 1895 FOR
DEMONSTRATING & PROMOTING COMMUNISM.
• THEY WERE SPEAKING AGAINST THE CZAR (TSAR)
AND THAT WAS NOT ALLOWED.
• EXILED TO SIBERIA FOR 3 YEARS.
BANISHED FROM RUSSIA
•
AFTER BEING RELEASED, HE MOVED TO MUNICH, GERMANY &
WROTE A NEWSPAPER TO PROMOTE COMMUNISM.
•
MEANWHILE, RUSSIA WENT TO WAR WITH
JAPAN…UNSUCCESSFULLY.
•
THIS LED TO ECONOMIC STRUGGLES, CAUSING RUSSIANS TO
SPEAK OUT AGAINST THEIR GOVERNMENT.
•
A GROUP OF UNARMED WORKERS TOOK A PETITION TO
NICHOLAS II. THEY WERE SHOT BY THE MILITARY, KILLING
AND WOUNDING HUNDREDS.
•
BLOODY SUNDAY
WORLD WAR I, THE CZAR, AND THE
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
•
IN 1917, NICHOLAS II (THE CZAR OF RUSSIA) WAS KICKED
OUT OF HIS POSITION.
•
A GROUP OF LEADERS FROM THE UPPER CLASS TOOK
OVER THE GOVERNMENT.
•
THIS WAS THE DUMA (PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT)
•
LENIN STEPPED IN AND CALLED FOR A COMMUNIST
GOVERNMENT, ONE THAT WOULD BE RULED DIRECTLY BY
THE WORKING CLASS.
•
HE LED THE OCTOBER REVOLUTION WHICH CAUSED A
CIVIL WAR.
VICTORY FOR COMMUNISTS
• AFTER 3 YEARS OF FIGHTING, LENIN’S SIDE WON.
• HE EVEN SURVIVED AN ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE
HIM.
• HOWEVER, HE WAS NEVER ABLE TO CREATE A
GOVERNMENT THAT HE HAD ALWAYS ENVISIONED.
• RUSSIA HAD BEEN HURT BY THE CIVIL WAR, AND
THE CIVILIANS REVOLTED AGAINST LENIN, JUST LIKE
HE HAD REVOLTED AGAINST THE CZARS.
THE END OF LENIN
•
TO EASE THE TENSION, LENIN INTRODUCED THE NEW
ECONOMIC POLICY (NOT TRUE COMMUNISM), WHICH
ALLOWED WORKERS TO SELL THEIR GRAIN ON THE OPEN
MARKET.
•
•
IN THE EARLY 1920’S, HIS HEALTH DECLINED.
HE WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF RUSSIA, SEEING HIS
REPLACEMENT, JOSEPH STALIN, BECOMING MORE AND
MORE LIKE A TYPICAL DICTATOR.
•
•
NOT TRUE COMMUNISM
HE PASSED AWAY IN 1924.
