| Today is 138 birthday of Vladimir
Lenin. If you check Russian news, you will not see it on the first
pages of the papers, and though the communists laid flowers at the steps
of Mausoleum on The Red Square, this is so far from the years of glory
of USSR. Vladimir Lenin did so much evil trying to do so much good.... and I dare say that this was because of the flaw in his education. An attorney by trade (though practically never worked in the field), he got the diploma by doing his studies what we called extra-mural (close to correspondence, but the difference is that there was no correspondence. You simply had to come to alma mater two times a year and pass exams. This form of higher education was quite popular in my years as well. There were 3 types of higher learning: day studies (the best), evening studies, and the worst in terms of quality of education - extra-mural. These guys were getting grades practically just for coming.
Is it the lack of intelligence, that made him decide FOR THE PEOPLE and INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE? He 'saw' the future, and those stupid people did not want to accept that bright future. He figured it would take years and years to do it, and he did not want to wait, so screw you, THE PEOPLE, we are doing it for you. You either with us, or against the better future. Damn, so many of those do not get it, so we need to get rid of those who are slowing us down on our glorious march to better future for them, so let them die and rot in camps... By 1918 he looked around and was terrified. The country was devastated by the civil war, destruction of industries and agriculture. He came to the net Party conference (7th Party Conference), and tried to turn to a more civilized economic model. NEP (New Economic Policy). Private businesses came back, the country started rebounding from the ruins, but it was too late. The criminals loved the power, and they made him the symbol of the revolution and they shut him down. |

I would not be surprised to soon find out that he was helped to die. I am actually surprised we do not know that yet. But he was a clever man, who tried to change the course, but couldn't. So, what about John Lennon's song? Nothing. He did not live where the great liberator started the worst slavery in modern history. For 84 years he is suffering for what he has done by not being put to rest. He is still in the Mausoleum, and the nation can't decide what to do with the man, who is a symbol of .... nobody now knows what. This is just my theory, take it or laugh at it. But there is a great value in good education. |
