Vlagyimir Iljics Uljanov, mozgalmi nevén Lenin orosz ügyvéd, kommunista forradalmár, a Szovjetunió első vezetője, marxista gondolkodó, a leninizmus névadója és a 20. századi történelem kiemelkedő hatású alakja.

Orosz szülők harmadik gyermekeként, Szimbirszkben látta meg a napvilágot Vlagyimir Iljics Uljanov néven, a Lenint csak később vette fel. A Szimbirszki Klasszikus Gimnáziumot kitűnő eredménnyel végezte el, s már ekkor kitűnt társai közül a tudásával és a szorgalmával. Miután kivégezték bátyját, aki részt vett egy merényletben, szembefordult a cári uralommal és fokozatosan balra tolódva a kommunista eszmék híve lett. Joghallgatóként részt vett egy diáktüntetésen, ami miatt kicsapták a kazáni egyetemről és így magánúton a szentpétervári egyetemen fejezte be tanulmányait, szintén kitűnő eredménnyel.

Felforgató tevékenységért három év szibériai száműzetésre ítélték, ami után a frissen megalapított Oroszországi Szociáldemokrata Munkáspárt tagjaként emigrált, majd többek között Svájcban, Németországban és Angliában is lakott. Külföldön tartózkodva kulcsszerepet vállalt a párt szervezésében és vitáiban, valamint a szocializmus eszméjének terjesztésében. Szerkesztette a párt lapját és rengeteg írást publikált. Befolyása a pártkongresszusokon egyre erősödött és az 1903-as pártszakadás után a bolsevik frakciót vezette.

A párt és a mozgalom népszerűsége rohamosan nőtt, végül Lenin vezetésével Oroszországban megszerezték a hatalmat. Az 1917-es októberi forradalom után széles körű reformokat vezetett be, nagy szerepe volt az első világháborúból való kilépésében. Miután az 1917-es választást az eszerek nyerték meg, a vörösök és a fehérek között elhúzódó polgárháború kezdődött, amelybe a külföldi hatalmak is beavatkoztak . Lenin és a proletár állam a hadikommunizmus bevezetésével meg tudta nyerni a fehérek elleni háborút, és az 1922-ben megalakult Szovjetunió első vezetője lett. Politikai pályájának kiteljesedését agyvérzése, majd két évvel későbbi halála gátolta meg.

A Szovjetunió egyik legbefolyásosabb és legnépszerűbb vezetője volt, azok közül is sokan rajongtak érte, akiknek nem kedvezett az általa követett politikai irányvonal. Hatalmas sikereit többek között intelligenciájának, karizmatikus személyiségének, kiváló szónoki tehetségének és filozófiai jártasságának köszönhette. Oroszországban, a volt tagállamokban és egyes keleti országokban is hatalmas személyi kultuszra és népszerűségre tett szert. Szellemének közvetett hatásai még a mai napig is érezhetőek az orosz politikában. Wikipedia

Vlagyimir Iljics Lenin idézetek

„A szabadság a kapitalista társadalomban mindig nagyjából ugyanaz marad, mint az ókori görög köztársaságokban volt: szabadság a rabszolgatartók számára.”

„A kapitalisták kivásárolhatják magukat bármilyen válságból, amíg a munkásokkal fizettetnek.”

Vlagyimir Iljics Lenin: Idézetek angolul

“The Soviets are a new state apparatus which, in the first place, provides an armed force of workers and peasants; and this force is not divorced from the people, as was the old standing army, but is very closely bound up with the people, From the military point of view this force is incomparably more powerful than previous forces; from the revolutionary point of view, it cannot be replaced by anything else.”

April Thesis (1917)

“The proletariat needs state power, a centralized organisation of force, an organisation of violence, both to crush the resistance of the exploiters and to lead the enormous mass of the population - the peasants, the petty bourgeoisie, and semi-proletarians - in the work of organising a socialist economy.”

“About three million must be regarded as middle peasants, while barely two million consist of kulaks, rich peasants, grain profiteers… Ruthless war on the kulaks! Death to them! … [Class struggle entails] ruthless suppression of the kulaks, those bloodsuckers, vampires, plunderers of the people and profiteers, who batten on famine.”

“The only platform from which public exposures can be made is an all-Russian newspaper. "Without a political organ, a political movement deserving that name is inconceivable in modern Europe."In this connection Russia must undoubtedly by included in modern Europe. The press has long ago become a power in our country, otherwise the government would not spend tens of thousands of rubles to bribe it, and to subsidize the Katkovs and Meshcherskys. And it is no novelty in autocratic Russia for the underground press to break through the wall of sponsorship and compel the legal and conservative press to speak openly of it.”

“The Social-Democrat's ideal should not be a trade union secretary. but a tribune of the people, able to react to every manifestation of tyranny and oppression, no matter where it takes place, no matter what stratum or class of the people it affects; he must be able to group all these manifestations into a single picture of police violence and capitalist exploitation; he must be able to take advantage of every petty event in order to explain his socialistic convictions and his Social-Democratic demands to all, in order to explain to all and every the world-historic significance of the struggle for the emancipation of the proletariat.”

“Hundreds of thousands of rouble notes are being issued daily by our treasury. This is done, not in order to fill the coffers of the State with practically worthless paper, but with the deliberate intention of destroying the value of money as a means of payment… Experience has taught us it is impossible to root out the evils of capitalism merely by confiscation and expropriation… The simplest way to exterminate the very spirit of capitalism is therefore to flood the country with notes of a high face-value without financial guarantees of any sort. …[T]he great illusion of the value and power of money, on which the capitalist state is based will have been definitely destroyed.”

“The big banks are the "state apparatus" which we need to bring about socialism, and which we take ready-made from capitalism' our task here is merely to lop off what capitalistically mutilates this excellent apparatus, to make it even bigger, even more democratic, even more comprehensive. Quantity will be transformed into quality. A single State Bank, the biggest of the big, with branches in every rural district, in every factory, will constitute as much as nine-tenths of the socialist apparatus.”

“Disarmament is the ideal of socialism. There will be no wars in and the dictatorship of the proletariat is not a socialist. Dictatorship is state power based directly on violence. And in the twentieth century — as in the age of civilisation generally — violence means neither a fist nor a club, but troops. To put “disarmament” in the programme is tantamount to making the general declaration: We are opposed to the use of arms. There is as little Marxism in this as there would be if we were to say: We are opposed to violence!”
