What was the essential question that Lenin had regarding the peasantry in Russia before the Bolshevik Revolution?
ChuckSiata
Lenin and other Marxists paid more attention to the peasantry and agriculture prior to 1917 than is generally noted. Lenin studied the role of the peasants under the Tsarist regime along with how it would function after the revolution the Bolsheviks would create. As with all stages of class struggle, Lenin was sure that capitalism would shape the agriculture in Russia. This would be a natural stage to help set up the inevitable "workers' revolution". The belief in the inevitability of capitalist development in agriculture and with the peasants was essential to the Bolshevik analysis of the peasant problem. The only unanswered question for Lenin prior to the revolution was what type of agrarian capitalism would develop in Russia. It is interesting to noter that Lenin was sure about capitalism and the workers, but that the peasantry was problematical. Marx was never clear on this in that the "peasants" of England and Germany were not a factor in his visions about the workers' rebellions.

What caused Leon Trotsky to mistrust the peasantry in Russia regarding a revolution?
Leon Trotsky was neither a worker, peasant, or member of the bourgeois, he was a revolutionary intellectual. He was completely outside the realm of most Russians. He dreaded having the problems of the peasants to be solved before those of the working class. He wanted however to make use of the peasantry for the purpose of seizing power. He also believed that the peasantry would betray the revolution just as the bourgeois did in 1905 and 1848. It is by the close examination of the intellectual thirst for power that the true motives of revolutionaries like Trotsky can be seen. In today's world, this same idea persists.

What was Vladimir Lenin's first myth regarding the Bolshevik Revolution?
On the first anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, one of the first great myths, or better said, lies, espoused by Lenin, occurred at the speech he delivered at the November 6, 1918 Extraordinary Congress of Soviets.Lenin proclaimed to the group that organized workers had created a Soviet government without bureaucrats, a standing army, and without privileges. Clearly Lenin's audience was not a group of neutral or naive political leaders. With that said, the truth was that within twelve months, a very organized group of intellectuals had overturned the Provisional Russian government and created a new class of dictatorial leaders, kept the old bureaucracy, and began their plans for a new "Socialist" army in January of 1918. The Bolsheviks under Lenin had already in March of 1918 signed a treaty with Germany that could be almost called a treaty of treason if accomplished by either the czar or the over thrown Provisional government.
