Name Date uistorymaxers Vladimir Lenin Russian Revolutionary Section 1 “There is no other man who Is absorbed by the revolution twenty-four hours @ diay, who has no other thoughts but the thought of revolution, and who even when he sleeps, dreams of nothing but revolution.”—another Communist, speaking of Lenin \ ladirnir Lenin was one of the century’s most important leaders. Unhappy and disillusioned with the Russian monarchy, he led a group called. the Bolshoviks in a rovolution that gave him control of the largest nation in the world. Bom in 1870, Lenin was raised by two educated porents in a happy family. He showed intelligence sad skill with classical lmguages. While ia his teens, two shocks jolted his world. First, his father was threatened with losing his job by the govern- ment. Second, Lonin’s older brother was hanged for conspiring against the czar. Within two years, Lenin had read the work of Karl Mare and believed that Russia needed a Communist revolution. Lenin then began to write and to recruit new followers. He uns arrested and served 15 mouths ia prison followed by throe years of exile in Siberia ‘When that ended in 1900, he traveled abroad, ‘where he spent much of the next 17 years, During this time, he sharpened his ideas about Marxise, Marxism said that industrial workers, called the proletariat, were in a struggle against capitalists, the people that owned businesses. Eventually, Mark sai, the workers would overthrow the eapitalsts and form a new society called communis. However, Russia consisted mainly of peasants and only had a stall number of industrial workers, Marxists won- dered how a workers’ revolution could occur. Lenin saw the role of the party as essential, and his group became known as the Bolsheviks. The Bolshew's, he said, would lead the people to the revolution they needed. Flowever, many Marxists found it difcult to accept Lenin’ iron rule, In 1912, hie foreed those who disagreed with him out of the party. World War I brought another crisis, Communists allover Europe ignored class loyalty and chose to {ight for their country instead. They joined their nations’ armies to fight exch other—not the capital- ists. Lenin said that the war would help capitalists profit while workers suffered. He urged that ‘Communists “transform the imperialist war into!a ‘civil war.” 40 Unrr 7, Cuarren 30 ‘As the war continued, the Russian people suf= fered terribly. In March 1917, kumgry, angry workers and soldiers overthrew the cear. Lenin and bis sup- porters won permission from Germany to travel through German lands back to Russie Lenin accepted the now temporary government bbat said that if wes not revolutionary enough. He urged thet power go to the soviets, which were councils of workers set up in many cities. His posi- tion grew dangerous. He was branded a German agent and was forced to live in hiding in Finland, From that base, he issued a stream of wnitings urging immediate Russian withdrawal from the war and for the government to give land and broad to the people. These cries gained popularity, I late October, he returned to Russia, disguised for his safety. He persuaded the party’s leaders that it wus time to overthrow the provisional government but ‘watched with alarin as no stops were taken, Finally, on November 7, 1917, the Bolsheviks overthrew the temporary govemmont. The soviets chose the 47-year-old Lenin as their leader, Lenin quickly made peace with Germany, giving up large chunks of Russian territory. A elvil war, though, still raged in Russia between the Bolsheviks and their opponents. However, Lenin’ leadership ensured that the new government would survive, ‘With peace came the question of how to rule the new statp. The country was named the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the Bolsheviks renamed themselves the Communist Party. In Lenin's last years, he struggled to prevent Stalin from gaining power: Lenin beciane ill and died in 1924, Questions 1, Drawing Conclusions What is the danger of Lenin’ idea of party leadership? 2, Making Inferences Why did the Germans allow ‘Lenin and his associates to return to Russia? 3. Determining Main Ideas What obstacles did Lenin have to overcome to achieve his revolution? ‘© MeDougal Litt ine, Al rights reserved. “© MeDougal Lill Inc. Al gate reserved. Name Date paimany source The Need for Progress Speech by Joseph Stalin Section 2 1928 until his deat Joseph Stalin (1879-1953) ruled the Communist Party In the Soviet Union from 1 One of his alms as the Soviet premlere vas to tap the coun- 75 vast economic potential His economic plans achleved success but at an Immense human cost. Historions estimate that he caused the deaths of between ‘and 13 million people. In this speach in 1931, he invoked Russian nationalism fn an attempt to motivate a group of industrial managers. bout ten years ago a slogan was issued: “Since Communists do not yot properly understand the technique of procction, since they have yet to leacn the att of management, let the old technicians and engineers—the experts —carry on production, and you, Communists, do not interfere with the technique of the business; but, while not interfer- ing, study technique, study the art of management tirelessly, in order later on, together with the ‘experts who are loyal to us, to become true man- agers of production, true masters of the business.” Such was the slogan, But what actually happened? ‘The second part of this formula was cast aside, for it is harder ta study than to sign papers; and the first part of the formula wns vulgar'sed: non-inter- ference was interpreted to mean refraining from studying the technique of production. The result has been nonsense, harmful and dangerous non- sense, which the sooner we discard the better kis time, high time that we turned towards technique. ‘This, of course, is no easy matter; but it ean cer tainly be accomplished. Science, technical experi- ence, knowledge, are ell things that can be ssequired. We may not have them today, but tomor- row we shall. The main thing is to have the passion- ate Bolshevik desize to master technique, to master the science of production. ‘You remember the words of the pre-revolution- ary poet: “You are poor and abundant, mighty and impotent, Mother Russia.” Those gentlemen were {quite familiar with the verses of the old poet. They eat her, saying: “You ate abundant,” so one can ‘enrich oneself at your expense. They beat her, say- ing: “You are poor and impotent,” so yon can he beaten and plundered with impunity. Such is the Jaw of the exploiters—to beat the backward and the ‘weak. It is the jungle law of capitalism, You azo backward, you ere week-therefore you are wrong: hence you can be beaten and enslaved. You are mighty—therefore you are right; hence we must be wary of you, ‘That is why we must no loager log behind. In the past we had no fatherland, nor could we have had one. But novr thst we have overthrown capitalism and power is in our hands, in the hands of the people, we have fatherland, and we will uphold its independence. Do you want our socialist fatherland to be beaten and to lose its independence? Hf you do not want this, you must put an end to its backwardness in the shortest possible time and develop a genuine Bolshovis tempo in building up its socialist economy, There is no other way. That Is why Lenin said on the eve of the October Revolution: “Either perish, or overtake and outstrip the advanced capitalist counties.” ‘Wo are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this dis- tance in ten years, Bither we do it, or we shall go under. ‘from J.V.

Revolution and Nationalisin 33 Name Date primary source from The Peasants of Hunan by Mao Zedong Section 3 ‘Mao Zedong (1891-1876), the son of @ Hunan peasont, was one of the founcers of the Chinese Communist Party In 1921, He believed that he could bring eco- nomic and political change to improve the lives of China's rural peasants. According to the following passage written in 1927, what was Mao Zodong’s Vision of the Communist revolutionary movement in China? De my recent visit to Hunan I conducted an investigation on the spot into the conditions in the five countries of Siangtan, Siangsiang, Hengshan, Liling, and Changsha, In the thirty-two days from January 4 to February 5, in villages and in county tov, I called together for fact-finding conferences experienced pessants and comrades working for the peasant movement, listened attentively to their ‘eporis and collected a lot of material... . All kinds of arguments ageinst the peasant movement must be speedily set right. The erroneous 1neasures taken by the revolutionary authorities concerning the peasant movement must be speedily changed, Only thus ean any good be done for the future of the revolution. For the vise of the present peasant movement is a colossal event. In a vory short time, in China's central, southern and northern provinces, several hundred million peasants will rise like a tornado or tempest, a force so extraardi- nasily swift and violent that no power, however great, will be able to suppress it. They will break all frammels [restraints] that now bind them and rash forward along the road to liberation. They will send all imperialists, warlords, corsupt officials, local bul- lics and bad gentry [members of the upper or rul- ing class] to their graves. All revolutionary parties and all evolutionary comrades wall stand before them to be tested, and to be accepted or rejected as they decide, ‘To march at their head and lead them? Or to follow at their rear, gesticulating at them and eriti- cising them? Or to face them as opponents? Every Chinese is frve to choose among the three alternatives, but circumstances demand that @ quick choice be made. 34 Unrr 7, Cuarren 30 A revolution is not the same as inviting people to dinner, or writing an essay, or printing a picture, cr doing faney needlework; it cannot be anything so refined, 50 calm and gentle, or so mild, Kind, cour- teous, restrained and magaanimous [generous in forgiving]. A revolution is an uprising, an act of vio- lence whereby one class overthrows another. A rural revolution is a revolntion by which the peas- antry overthrows the authority ofthe feudal landlord class, If the peasants do not use the maximum of their strength, they can never overthrow the authority of the landlords which has been deeply rooted for thoussnds of yeas. In the rural areas, there must be a great, fervent revolutionary upsurge, which alone can arouse hundreds and thousands of people to form a great force. fron, Mao Tse-tung, Selected Works, Vo.
