Revolution
In November 1917, Lenin, the leader of the Communist Party, led a Proletarian Revolution to overthrew the Provisional Government that had replaced the Russian Empire.
Lenin was one of the most devious persons in all of history. He was a revolutionary, atheist, and mass murderer. In 1889, he became a Marxist (as previously formulated by Karl Marx). He obtained a law degree shortly afterwards, and by 1895 was a subversive who was arrested and sent to Siberia as punishment. Once he served his time he left for Western Europe, where he developed his plans further and became a leader of the Bolsheviks. He returned to Russia after the tsar abdicated in March 1917, and led the Bolsheviks to power in the "October Revolution" (November in the Gregorian calendar). He then ruled the Soviet Union under Marxism-Leninism, until his death in 1924. Lenin used concentration camps and "reeducation" to impose the atheistic ideology upon the population.
| “ | A wide campaign of "education" was undertaken to show the people why "workers' rule" meant, in practice, managers' rule. Where necessary, the education by the word was supplemented with education by firing squad or concentration camp or forced labour battalion. [1] | ” |
The régime of Josef Stalin, the next Premier of the USSR, continued the oppression of the masses initiated by Lenin.
