His website has always said he's single, but he's referred to his girlfriend in interviews, and then at a fan convention a couple years ago he mentioned his wife getting him an iPod for Christmas. I'm assuming him and the girlfriend got married.

How did Lenin and the Bolsheviks take over the government?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Vladimir Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Party with many thousands of followers. In 1917, they staged the October Revolution and deposed the existing Provisional Government, which had been set up after the Tsar abdicated the previous March. The Bolshevik Party with its military force, the Red Guard, took over all organs of government and declared itself in power. Most people were glad to see the Provisional Government go, so they did not rise to its defense. The Bolsheviks were in power but barred all other political parties from participating in the government.

The Russian Civil War broke out but Lenin's Red forces defeated the opposing White forces. During the Civil War, more than a year after the Tsar had stepped down and about nine months after the October Revolution, Lenin ordered the execution of Tsar Nicholas and his entire family. Once the Civil War was over, Lenin and the Bolsheviks were in sole power over Russia.

What was a slogan of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917?

Asked by Wiki User

Not so much a slogan.. more a decree

peace land bread

It should be counted as a slogan since it appeared on many posters prior to the Bolshevik Revolution. Lenin also used as a rallying cry the slogan: "All power to the Soviets." This meant that all political and military power should be in the hands of the soviets, or councils of workers and soldiers that sprang up in many cities just prior to the revolution.

Why do people have funerals?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It would be obscenely rude to not have a funeral for someone who has lived a good, productive life who was loved by many and is missed by all who knew that person. Funerals honor the life of the deceased, as the wake is just for that purpose, and for the grieving of the life lost. Funerals are reverent as everyone is supposed to wear their best clothes, or what they would wear for church, if not better. Cremations, though preferable to some, are comletely different than funerals, as cremations burn the body into ashes and have the ashes placed into an urn (vase) for safe keeping. Funerals preserve the body, though cremations are considerably cheaper (urns are cheaper than coffins). Funerals preserve the body because it is believed by many that that same body is to be resurrected when Christ comes back.

What were the reactions of Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky to Lenin's death?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Stalin was glad to be rid of Lenin so that he could now take over the Communist Party and the Soviet Union himself. Stalin had been running the government behind Lenin's back with Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev. Now he did not have to hide it. Also, Stalin was making disparaging remarks about Lenin because of his invalided condition after his strokes.

Trotsky was sad to see Lenin go, but at the same time worried because he knew what Stalin would try to eliminate him now that Lenin was no longer there to keep Stalin in line.

User Avatar

The New Economic Policy permitted limited forms of capitalism back into the Soviet Union's socialist economy. In agriculture, farmers were allowed to keep their own crops and sell them in an open marketplace free of price controls. In other areas, small businesses (ones employing about ten or fewer people) were allowed to own their businesses and run them their own profit.

Why did Lenin create the Communist International?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lenin wanted the Communist revolution and movement to spread to all neighboring countries. The Communist Internationale, also known as the Comintern, was designed to coordinate and support efforts by Marxist/socialist revolutionary groups in other countries to do this.
Lenin created the Communist International in order to have an organization that would coordinate socialist and communist revolutionary movements in as many countries worldwide as possible. This was in keeping with Marxian doctrine that a single true communist state could not survive if surrounded by capitalist states.

What were Vladimir Lenin's economic policies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are two main economic policies that Lenin pursued. The first policy was War Communism 1918-1921, which aimed to support the needs of the civil war that Russia was fighting. The policy meant nationalization of industry and food supply, including forced grain acquisitioning from peasants, to feed workers in urban areas and soldiers. This resulted in failure. Peasants hid their grain, and poor food distribution meant that many areas were hit with famine, which caused the development of a black market. Fuel and raw materials were also in short supply and there was massive inflation which was disastrous for the economy.

Lenin's next economic policy called the NEP (New Economic Policy) could be viewed as conciliation for the harsh policy of War Communism, as it encouraged the recovery of the economy. Grain requisitioning stopped, and although peasants still had to pay a tax, they were able to keep surplus grain. Smaller factories were returned to owners. Although this did result in economic revival, it was unpopular with the socialists as the policy seemed to reverting Russia back to capitalism. There were also problems of traders taking advantage of the NEP, who came to be called Nepmen, who bought goods cheaply and sold them at a higher price. There were also problems with high prices of manufactured goods, which meant that peasants were unwilling to sell their grain.

And also,by this he become a great leader in world.

Did Lenin want the means of production to be in the control of the people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No he did not. Lenin was dedicated to turning Russia from a capitalist country into a socialist country. Communism would come later as a result of the natural forces of society. Lenin wanted all industry and land to be owned by a strong central government rather than in the hands of individual owners.

What was the name used by Russian Communists which stood for the bloodshed of violent revolution?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The "October Revolution" is another name, but not a 'nickname' of the Bolshevik Revolution. In fact, the October Revolution has come to be the preferred, perhaps even formal, historical name for the event in order to distinguish the Bolshevik Revolution from the one that occurred in February (Russian calendar) which has come to be known as the February Revolution.

Why did the revolution occur in Russia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There was a revolution in Russia, because, many people were starving, there was too much discrepancy between the rich and the poor. Russia was beaten badly by the Axis in WWI. The Russian rulers were incompetent, selfish people who got their power because they were born into it. There were too many things wrong with the country and the only way most people felt that positive changes could be brought about was with a revolution. Lenin was a very convincing speaker who gave the people the idea that he had better ideas to solve the country's problems than the Czar, Nicholas did.
