Fisher Biography of Lenin


A lot was written Lenin and a lot was written about him. In published works, articles, notes and letters of Lenin and the diaries of his employees, his political profile and the entire course of the revolutionary movement and the formation of Soviet Russia for a year are loomed. In the book proposed, I tried to give the image of both Lenin himself and the people with whom he worked, and to show their relations with the subject population of Russia, in which I lived for 14 years.

I hope that the Russian translation of my work, originally published in English, will be a well-known contribution to the objective and thorough study of Lenin’s life and its place in history in the future of the summer anniversary from the birth of the founder of the Soviet state. Louis Fisher 1.

Fisher Biography of Lenin

Communist thinking and methods wear an imprint of his bright and strong personality. Lenin was born on April 10, there is a children's portrait of Lenin - a four -year -old, chubby, slightly smiling, with dense blond curls and deeply planted eyes. The Soviet government spreads it with millions. Flew in August in April next year, he presented a picture in space in space to the Central Museum of Lenin in Moscow.

Before the communist revolution, in many Russian houses, the icon of the Blessed Virgin, Christ or the Orthodox Holy hung in the red corner. The Communists welcome the replacement of the icon with an electric light with a portrait of Lenin. The word "Lenin", "Leninism" as applied to a political line or theory ascends such an above criticism. A quote from Lenin wins the dispute.

The Kremlin encourages the cult of Lenin, gradually giving the form of Lenin's image of Lenin into the Soviet consciousness. Lenin could become a professor of economics, a successful lawyer or chess champion. In his origin, childhood and adolescence, there is nothing that would portend the future career of the revolutionary and dictator. He was, however, a child of Russia - rumbing and frantic, a fruit from a tree, deeply rooted in its diverse soil.

The nationalist content of communism requires Lenin to be portrayed ethnically pure Great Russians. Therefore, the fact that he had non -Russian ancestors remains hidden from everyone, with the exception of the most curious. The official biography of Lenin, written by P. Pospelov and eight other authors under the auspices of the All-Union Institute of Marxism-Leninism Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

The second edition of the biography is just as sparingly for words. Meanwhile, there was no need to go far for the information. Marietta Shaginyan, a well -known Soviet writer of Armenian descent, having looked at the local archives and yellowing tax receipts, published in dust, printed in the November issue of the New World for the city when he was over fifty, Nikolai Vasilievich, Russian in nationality, married Anna Alekseevna Smirnova, the illiterate daughter of Kalmyk.

These completely reliable facts in the enormous Soviet literature are not given anywhere about the great leader. Kalmyks profess the Buddhist faith. They have large, round, flat, yellow-brown faces and eyes with a Mongol cut. Lenin’s wide cheekbones and slanting eyes indicate this admixture of Asian blood. Ilya Nikolaevich Ulyanov, the fourth and last son of the Russo-Kalmyk couple from Astrakhan, was born when his father was sixty-seven, and his mother was forty-three.

Five years later, the father died. The brother of Ilya Vasily, a gunner and a clerk at the merchant, was twelve years older and lived a bachelor all his life. He took care of Ilya and gave him education at his own expense. Ilya became the father of Lenin.
