Lenin is one of the greatest thinkers of all time! His life was with the development of socialism.
He is the founder and the guiding spirit of the Soviet Republics - a communist philosopher, ardent disciple of Karl Marx, leader of the Bolshevik Party and the mastermind of the 1917 October Revolution.
Lenin was expelled from university for his radical policies.
In February 1897, he was sentenced without trial to 3 years exile in eastern Siberia
His father died in 1887. That year marked a turning point for young Lenin and in a lot of ways determined his path as future revolutionary.
His older brother, Aleksandr Ulyanov, was involved with “Narodovoltsy” – a revolutionary terrorist society. In 1891 Aleksandr was arrested and later executed for taking part in an assassination plot against Tsar Alexander III.
Oh, he had suffered a lot of pain in his life. And I think that had inspired him to follow and develop the socialism in Russia and the world.
I have been to Lenin Park three times, it’s very beautiful an I can feel the adoration of Vietnamese to Lenin.
One of his famous sayings, “Give me a generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world”. Just a great man can say that. I do really admire him!
Vietnamese people always remember his work to build up socialism and we will continue that work to make socialism back on its track as the global social movement.
