JAKARTA – Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, also known as Vladimir Lenin, is an important figure in the revolutionary history of Russian communism. The man who was born in Simbirsk, April 22, 1870, was the founder of the communist state of the Soviet Union and became the first leader of the Soviet Union to serve only two years. He served as Prime Minister of the Soviet Union from 30 December 1922 to 21 January 1924.
Lenin had an orientation towards Marxist politics and channeled his political ideas into the Marxist school of thought known as Leninism. Unfortunately, Lenin died at the age of 53 on January 21, 1924, due to a vascular disease that did not go away.
Lenin was the son of Ilya Nikolaevich Ulyanov and Maria Alexandrovna Blank. In 1886, his father died when Lenin was 15 years old. In the same year, Lenin’s older brother, along with a group of revolutionaries, planned the assassination of Tsar Alexander III. Later, his brother and other aspirants were arrested and sentenced to death.
The death sentence handed down to his older brother in 1887 was the beginning of Lenin’s interest in exploring left-wing revolutionary politics. Despite growing up emotionally traumatized after the deaths of his father and older brother, he continued his education into higher education by majoring in law at Kazan University.
Launching from Britannica, Lenin founded the Communist Party of the Soviet Union which was named the Bolshevik Party on March 1, 1898. As head of the Bolshevik Party, he played an important role in starting the October 1917 revolution. Lenin managed to dissolve the Russian Provisional Government and then form the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFS). ). Shortly thereafter, Lenin instituted socialist reforms that included the transfer of ownership of land and buildings to the Soviets.
The threat of the German Empire forced Lenin to sign a peace treaty that resulted in Russia’s withdrawal from World War I. In 1921, he initiated a new economic policy, namely a system of state capitalism, which began the process of industrialization and recovery from Russia’s post-civil war era. A year later, the SFSR, led by Lenin, joined with the rest of the former Russian Empire to form the Soviet Union and made Lenin officially head of government, until his death in 1922.
After his death, Vladimir Lenin’s body was preserved and placed in a mausoleum in Red Square, near the Kremlin, Moscow. The preservation of Lenin’s body is intended for all visitors to see in the Red Square mausoleum. Lenin’s role as leader of the Soviet Union was replaced by Joseph Stalin, who was also a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
