What was once will be again 109 years ago, for the first time in human history, the part of humanity that has always been exploited and oppressed won and created a society based on new principles with a new economic base that is not based on exploitation. This was the Bolshevik Revolution on November 7, 1917. For the first time in history, the weak defeated the strong. For the first time in history, workers, peasants and soldiers took their fate into their own hands.
After the virtual destruction of the Russian Empire in February 1917, the Bolsheviks restored territorial integrity to the country. Under the leadership of Lenin and Stalin, the workers, peasants and soldiers earned not only their daily bread, but also their new society.
By realizing the potential of the Soviet people and properly organizing them, the country achieved unprecedented opportunities for economic, social and cultural development.
The Soviet Union was a future state in the present, striving towards the future.
The oppressed peoples of the world saw with hope how one society succeeds in building a new, better society. They felt encouraged and began to respond to the call: it is possible to build a society without oppression, free, with popular democracy that extends its technological and scientific development to every corner of society.
All over the world the oppressed rose up, liberation and decolonization movements and socialist revolutions spread.
But history does not develop in a straight line, but like water in the sea. There are waves ahead and waves back. traitors penetrated the workers’ state and seized power. Khrushchev began with the slow but constant destruction of the Soviet Union until Gorbachev granted a death blow to the first working state. It took more time to destroy the country than to build it – a sign of the elderly of socialist societies.
The imperialist world rejoiced and declared the end of history.
