The Red Terror (1918) was an important element of the Russian Revolution that showed the violent character of the Bolshevik regime led by Vladimir Lenin. The terror was carried out by the Soviet secret police: the Cheka (All-Russian Extraordinary Commission to Combat Counterrevolution and Sabotage) and was led by Felix Dzerzhinsky. Underlaying causes were the Left-SR uprising and the assassination attempt on Lenin by Fanny Kaplan. Hundreds of thousands of people would die at the hands of the Cheka.

Through revolution, civil war, oppression, terrorist attacks, wars with other countries, starvation and being worked to death, surviving to an old age only got better toward the end of the century.

@Kikasitsu 3 года назад

Scratch out “Wars with other countries”, “starving people to death”, and “working people to death.” First off, the Wars were largely wars of defense. (You would try to defend yourself IF traitors and Fascists tried to sabotage the socialist experiment. Then you’d do it again when Nazis and 5th Columns were surrounding you.) “Starving people to death…” That’s Nazi propaganda from the 30’s, 50’s, and 80’s. There were a myriad of contributions to lead to a famine in 1928, as well as 1932. (The better remembered one is 1932.) However, one TEENY TINY little problem with it: The narrative *began in 1935* After William Randolph Hearst made a deal with Nazi Germany worth several million Marks for newspaper distribution in August, 1934. The Holodomor was first recorded in “Black Deeds of the Kremlin” Vol. 1. (A book that features SEVERAL Nazi collaborators within the 500-page book.) Historian Anne Applebaum *cited this book 10 times,* and LIED about the work of Douglas Tottle’s “Fraud, Famine and Fascism: The Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard.” Then comes the last of the three… There were no written orders for such treatment of camp prisoners. In fact, most prisoner deaths were committed by the Nazis after Operation Barbarossa took place. The rest is largely spun fiction. The sources to many of the claims *do not lead to primary evidence* of any sort. Most just lead to anecdotal evidence or dead-ends.

My major professor in grad school was a Russian history specialist. He has been published several times on the topic. What I saw from his courses and personal conversations with him about late Imperial Russia leaves me seeing a lot of parallels in America today -- comparable with late 1860s to 1880s Russia. It's not a direct parallel, of course, but it is very similar. Someone once said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme." I hear a lot of rhyming.

Switzerland maintained its impartial stance through World War I and 2, *Switzerland benefited from its neutrality during World War II by purchasing vast amounts of gold from Allied and Axis powers* ... During World War I and World War II, Switzerland maintained armed neutrality, and was not invaded by its neighbors, so their Gold, Diamonds and other merchandise like works of art remained safe ......

The Soviet Union wasn't exactly established on the principle of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." This video enlightens us about the terrible early years of the Russian Revolution. It's no wonder Hitler thought he could knock it apart in 1941, at least until the Soviet people found out his regime was even worse.

@cptpayday2080 3 года назад

Except that the Nazi Regime had far reaching support before it was clear that the war was lost. Comparing the Soviets to the Nazis does not fit at all imo. because the Nazis did not come into power via continous genocide of everyone opposing them like it happened with the soviets. The Nazis genocide did not happen because of its necessity to stay in power but because of ideology.

@alansewell7810 3 года назад

@@cptpayday2080 Hitler used the same methods as the Bolsheviks to consolidate power: "The first concentration camps in Germany were established soon after Hitler's appointment as chancellor in January 1933. In the weeks after the Nazis came to power, the SA (Sturmabteilung; commonly known as the Storm Troopers), the SS (Schutzstaffel; Protection Squadrons-the elite guard of the Nazi party), the police, and local civilian authorities organized numerous detention camps to incarcerate real and perceived political opponents of Nazi policy." The Germans did support Hitler to a remarkable degree after that. No doubt a lot of it was genuine admiration for Hitler's aggressive agendas; the rest being ginned up by relentless propaganda plus the fear of execution if the slightest hint of dissent was expressed in public. Stalin was also beloved by many Russians for the same reasons; at least until the full details of his tyranny were let loose by Khrushchev after his death.

One of the more chilling Lenin quotes I've seen (from his address to the meeting of the All-Russia Extraordinary Conference of Workers & Peasants, on 12 November 1918) that illuminates his thinking on this matter: "Terror's nature is such that it does not operate like a sniper's rifle, or even the hosing stream of bullets from the barrel of the machine gun. So long as it is directed by rational decision, according to information provided by the naked eye, the telescopic sight, or the information of spies, then it (terror) can be avoided... True terror, mass terror, terror instituted not just by Soviet authorities, or by secret police, or Red Guard, or by militant unionists, but terror boiling up from the very ground, pouring through the holes in society like lava from a volcano, is the sole way to effectively cow our enemies! One of the key mistakes of all past revolutions has been not to shoot too many, but not to shoot enough."

There is a persistent theme in all of their literature regarding the failed notion of somehow being desirous of remaking society in such a way as to mitigate what they perceive as unjust or destructive tendencies in the way people think so as to create a “better world” that disregards the obvious fact that human nature itself is flawed and is the cause of injustice in life and not the particular political situation one lives under.

@yurifreis2598 3 года назад

@@JacenSolo0 You are trying to justify Lenin. Someone who organizes a secret service with assassins in order to defend his one party at all costs (as the only way out of the revolution) cannot be judged with softness, nuance and euphemisms. The fact is that Lenin forcibly imposed his own organization and did not respect any opposition, whether on the left or on the right, nor did he even respect the popular will by denying the validity of an electoral result unfavorable to the Bolsheviks. Therefore, Lenin was not only a result of external pressures from the context of the time, but was also a product of his own internal will, typical of his party (and which continued with Stalin).

@BolshevikCarpetbagger1917 3 года назад

@@yurifreis2598 Lenin imposed nothing on anyone. The Russian working class by late 1917 had been overwhelmingly pro-Bolshevik. The opposition as you very well know formed the White Movement and unleashed a wave or terror that grew into the civil war. I'd say that pretty much eliminated all prospects of peaceful dialogue, especially after 17 armies invaded and an Allied starvation blockade was implemented. The Bolsheviks had the overwhelming support of the democratically-elected soviets in the factories and farmlands, the only democratic institutions that existed. The Constituent Assembly was illegitimate.
