Despite distortions, Russian October Revolution still shines
Despite distortions, Russian October Revolution still shines
9/12/16
Under the leadership of the Russian Communist
Party (Bolshevik), Russian worker class and working people made the October
Revolution 1917 an outstanding triumph, marking a turning point in the history
of human being. Nowadays, though hostile forces still try to distort the
Revolution, its success is still shining.
1. Sabotages of imperialism and
hostile forces with the aim to change the history and devalue the revolution.
Right after the success of the Revolution, the Russian bourgeois, who had just
been defeated, insisted 14 imperialist countries to form a coalition to destroy
the newly - established Soviet government and tried to distort and blame
V.I. Lenin and Russian communists. They held a point that the revolution was in
fact a “coup” and the establishment of the Soviet worker farmer state was a
derailment. Especially, since the recession of the USSR and socialist countries
in East Europe, hostile forces have further strengthened their sabotages
against socialism. They have utilized all means to criticize, slander and
devalue the humanitarian and human ideals of the revolution and Marxism –
Leninism and its theoretical and ideological background. They even declared the
end of socialism, and conducted propaganda about the eternity of capitalism and
persuaded the remaining socialist countries in the world, including Vietnam, to
follow the capitalist orbit.
2. The Russian October Revolution in
2017 opened a new chapter in the Russian history and in the development course
of human being – the transition period from capitalism to socialism at the
global scale.The victory opened up the path to socialism for the entire
human kind and brought about huge potentials for the proletariat as well as the
working class in their struggle for self-liberation from oppression and
exploitation of the colonialist and imperialist regimes.
The reality has shown that after the
revolution, the Communist Party of Soviet Union headed by Lenin led the Russian
proletariat and working people to renovate the former society and built new
one. They made great achievements in the fields of economy, politics, science –
technique, culture – society, defense, security, etc, driving the USSR from a
middle capitalist country to a super power in the world. Under the influence of
the Revolution and the socialist regime in the USSR, various other countries in
the world have successfully carried out their national liberation revolution
and gained independence. A number of them chose the path to socialism.
During the period from the end of the October
Revolution to the late of 1980s, the socialist realism with its aim of
“national independence and social progress” has become an universal value of
time, which was followed by many countries in the world and rapidly grew to a
strong system in the world. It led to the collapse of the colonialist system
established by the colonialism and imperialism for many centuries. The eternity
of capitalism was no longer existed. It was denied in principle. All attempts
to slander, remove Marxism – Leninism and socialism, denying the great value of
the revolution were pointless.
3. Though the world has seen so many
changes, the great values of the Russian Revolution are unchanged. For the
past nearly a century since the success of the revolution, there have been so
many ups and downs in the history of human being. The losses caused by the
enemy to communist and international worker movement during the past decades
are numerous. However, the objective development trend of history once pointed
out by the Revolution and the success of socialism are irreversible. Nowadays,
globalization and international integration are being accelerated robustly; the
world situation is complicated and unpredictable. Nevertheless, peace, national
independence, democracy, cooperation, development, and social progress are
still the mainstream. The great ideal of the October Revolution still counts
and gains significant achievements in many countries which have chosen the path
to socialism by different ways. Moreover, in many capitalist countries,
left-wing parties gradually dominate. These show that though socialist realism
is facing difficulties and hostile forces always manage to deny and devalue the
significant values and influence of the Russian October Revolution, its ideals
are still the goals that many countries in the world are striving for.
4. The Russian October Revolution –
the guideline for Vietnamese revolution. When reading the “Preliminary
Draft of Theses on the National and Colonial Questions” written by Lenin and
approved in the Second Congress of the Comintern in 1920, Nguyen Ai Quoc was so
glad that he suddenly burst into tears. Sitting alone in the room, he spoke out
loud as if he was speaking to his fellow people: “Dear my oppressed fellow men!
This is what we need. This is our way of liberation!”. Thereafter, he affirmed:
“Vietnamese revolution must follow Lenin’s path – the way of the Russian
October Revolution; the cause of national salvation and liberation had no other
way but proletariat revolution”.
Over the past 86 years, our Party and
President Ho Chi Minh have always been loyal to the great ideal of Marxism –
Leninism and steadfast in the path of the Russian October Revolution; led our
people successfully carry out the August Revolution in 1945; make the landslide
Dien Bien Phu victory in 1954; and liberate the South, unify the country in
1975. In the cause of national construction and defense, our Party has drawn
valuable lessons from the recession of the socialist realism model in the USSR
and socialist countries in East Europe; timely set out sound policies,
resolutely surmounted shortcomings and mistakes, and started the renewal cause
since 1986. Accordingly renewal does not mean changing socialist goals but to
realize them by right concepts, appropriate methods, measures, and steps.
Over 30 years of renewal, the great ideals of
the Russian October Revolution have been realized by our Party, people, and
armed forces with significant and historic achievements in the cause of
national construction and defense. These achievements prove the fact that our
Party’s lines are right and relevant to the time; that the Party’s will and
people’s aspiration are always intertwined in the implementation of the goal of
“rich people, strong, democratic, equal and civilized country”.
Today, the world situation is still
complicated and unpredictable. Hostile forces have been utilizing their
economic, scientific – technological advantages and new tricks and plots to
conduct severe sabotage against Marxism – Leninism, slandering and denying the
value and significance of the Russian October Revolution. Therefore, nations
struggling for peace, national independence, democracy, social development and
progress following the October Revolution will still face difficulties and
challenges. However, “according to the evolution of the history, human being
will certainly move forward to socialism”, historical values of the Russian
October Revolution are still shining.

No one can deny the profound effect of the Revolution on the world history. For the first time in history, the proletariat, labourers, the poor, under the leadership of a Communist Party took part in the revolution which changed their lives, liberated themselves, mastered, controlled and organized a new society– socialist society.
A new world system – socialist system appeared which ensures better and better human rights, the rights, responsibilities and duties of citizens in reality.
Without the Russian Revolution and the realistic socialism, labourers and nations in the world would have been drowned in the suppression of capitalism, imperialism.
Success of the Russian Revolution had a profound effect, creating a spiritual impact and guiding Vietnam and other nations in the world the way to development.
It has been recorded in the history that Russia, the origin of the revolution, the core of the USSR, together with progressive and peaceful forces in the world, was the main force to destroy fascism.
Reality shows that, for the past century, the progress of the human kind is attributed to the struggle of the worker class, labourers worldwide and the significant impact, effect of values for human of realistic socialism. This is undeniable.
Over the past eight decades, following the Russian Revolution, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Vietnamese revolution has gained victory by victory, liberating the nation, reunifying the country and progressing to socialism.
