Best Vladimir Lenin Quotes

Vladimir Lenin Quotes About Love, Politics, Revolution, Decades, Capitalism, Hindi, Communism, & Socialism! Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin was the founder of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. He was also the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution and the architect of the Soviet Union. The concept known as “Leninism,” which was codified and combined with Marx’s writings by Lenin and his successors to create Marxism-Leninism, which eventually became the Communist worldview, was developed due to his posthumous contributions. Following Marx, he has been hailed as the best revolutionary leader and intellectual the world has ever known, according to many. The date of his birth was April 22, 1870.

His father’s death and the horrifying experience of his brother’s execution led Vladimir Lenin to rise in rebellion. He was dismissed from his law school after starting a few small-scale demonstrations Vladimir Lenin earned a law degree from the prestigious ‘St. Petersburg University,’.

Following his appointment as a lawyer, he began to research and devise methods for putting his Marxist ideology into practice, eventually joining the ‘Social Democrats’ political party. He flew to meet with well-known Russian Marxist ideologists such as George Plekhanov and others who had been banned to Western Europe.

 During World War II, he voluntarily fled to Switzerland and released a book titled ‘Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism,’ which expressed his views on the continuing struggle. Following World War, he returned to a politically insecure Russia and relied on his leadership abilities to help build the Soviet Union. He issued a series of ordinances that stripped monarchs of their estates and instead handed them to peasants. He died on January 21, 1924. He was considered mainly one of the most important and divisive political personalities of the twentieth century.
