The most direct result of the Russian civil war is that the country is weakened and rubble by a fratricidal civil war!

For the Bolsheviks, however, it was "the worse the better".

The ideal sung by the Bolsheviks in "The Internationale" was realized: in the midst of a merciless war, Russia's "old world was in a state of collapse......

The entire Tsar's family was beheaded, the famous families of old Russia were either killed or exiled, and the old way of life was completely wiped out. Leaving only those who are close to abject poverty, they end up with a "bare earth, bare people......"!

Now it was time to build the world of the Bolsheviks.

The civil war was still going on, but Lenin had to think about relations with other countries. First of all, it is necessary to free Russia from the embargo imposed on it by the whole world.

The Red Terror has tarnished the reputation of the authorities and displeased even the Socialists in the West.

At the beginning of 1920, Lenin abolished the provision for the execution of death sentences on the basis of the Cheka's sentence. This is for the West to see. The early hours of the day, before the resolution came into effect, became a nightmare. The authorities did not want to let the enemy live. In the early hours of that day, a large number of former civilian and military officials were shot in various prisons.

Chekakai Day became a day of bloodshed. Stalin also understood this: the enemy can be forgiven, but first let him finish.

From the autumn of 1919 onwards, Stalin was constantly complaining about the Central Committee and Lenin. He begged to be transferred from the front: "First, I am a little tired, let me get a little out of the dangerous, intense, and unrested front-line work, and concentrate on a quiet work in the rear for a period of time, I don't want to recuperate in the villa, I just want to change jobs, this is considered recuperation......"

Then another telegram to Lenin was: "Once again, my request is to be transferred to the rear and to send someone worthy of the trust of the Central Committee." If you insist, I'll have to go on my own......"

He was indomitable and constantly complained, showing that he was annoyed by the refusal of the Central Committee to remove his enemy, Trotsky, and no longer wanted to be an "expert ...... wiping the ass of the military department."

After the outbreak of the Russo-Polish War, Stalin fought against the Poles on the Southern Front. He was the political commissar who, together with the commander of the army group, Yegorov, led the southern cluster.

Budyonny's 1st Cavalry Army was the main force. Trotsky, in order to strengthen Tukhachevsky's offensive, ordered that Budyonny's cavalry be transferred to Tukhachevsky. But when Stalin refused, he had long hated to get votes for people, and he had his own grand plans. Taking advantage of Tukhachevsky's desire to attack Poland, Stalin planned to capture Lviv, then attack Warsaw from Lviv, and then march through Austria to Germany to support the revolution.

However, even this Lenin forgave Stalin. He decided to let Stalin deal with the Crimea. Wrangel took advantage of the Bolsheviks' war with Poland to strike at the Crimea and occupy the surrounding areas. In June 1920, it was decided to unite the troops under Tukhachevsky's command against Poland on the Western Front, and at the same time to form a Southern Front against Wrangel.

However, Stalin, who was bent on returning to Moscow, was close to rudeness towards Lenin: "I have received your letter about the division of the front. The Politburo should not care about this trivial matter. I can only work on the front line for another two weeks, and I need to rest and find someone to replace me."

The familiar tone of a brave veteran who has been annoyed by the enemy's troubles from time to time. Lenin took pity on him: "For example, for about three and a half years, fate has not allowed him to be either the People's Commissar of the Workers' and Peasants' Inspectorate and the People's Commissar of National Affairs. ”

Lenin corrected the injustice of fate to him. He recalled the loyal Stalin back to Moscow.

However, Stalin's eagerness to return to the rear was not only for the sake of power. He was over 4 years old. It's time to have a home. His young wife was about to give birth, and it was long overdue to bring back another child, the soon-to-be-forgotten son, from Georgia.

Stalin was in Moscow only to learn about the capture of the Crimea. Using the mountains of corpses of their comrades as cover, the Red Army soldiers attacked head-on like an avalanche and captured the peninsula. Stalin taught another lesson: Trotsky was good at sacrificing his men, so he won one victory after another.

The Kremlin has moved a lot of new owners.

So Lenin decided to let Stalin live in the Grand Kremlin, in the hall where the grand ceremonies were held! All for Stalin! …,

Lenin also had the Politburo pass a special resolution as a sign of concern for Stalin: "Comrade Stalin should spend three days a week in Besano. ”

It was at that time that Lenin, half-jokingly and half-seriously, suggested that Stalin marry his sister Maria, and Lenin was very surprised to learn that Stalin was married.

Lenin was not a sentimental man. His thoughtfulness is certainly for the cause. In the event of Stalin's death, it would have been too great a blow to Lenin, who had planned to bring about a great change in which Stalin would play an important role

During the war, Lenin strengthened the state apparatus hated by the revolutionaries and buried the great utopia. But on the economic front, the opposite is true. Under the pretext of the civil war, Lenin realized many of Marx's dreams. He called these things "military communism." Industry was nationalized and private commerce was outlawed.

From 1919 onwards, the peasants were subjected to a system of collecting surplus grain, which meant that all grain except for the necessary rations was confiscated and the peasants had no right to sell it. Now that the civil war is over, the peasants are looking forward to change. However, the belief of ordinary party members is that we have won the war and can move on from military communism to world communism. Along the path of great utopia! However, farmers are no longer willing to give food.

The patron protector of the peasants, the Left Social Revolutionaries, sat in the Buttier prison after the 1918 "rebellion", and the area where the prison was located was jokingly called the "Socialist Building".

However, even there was information that the peasants had risen up in revolt.

"The rich peasants of the five townships should be ruthlessly chalked...... There should be an example: first, at least hang (must be hanged, so that people can see) 100 stubborn kulaks; 2. Publish their lists; Three. confiscation of all their food; Four. A number of hostages were pointed out, so that people within a radius of several hundred versts could see that Lenin was shocked. ”

To Nin ordered the chalky suppression of the Tambov uprising: everything burned down.

And to Tukhachevsky, who was on the front line, he ordered: "The defeated remnants gathered in the woods. In order to eliminate the remnants of the enemy immediately, I ordered: spray poison gas in the woods, let the poisonous gas disperse, and destroy all the remnants of the enemy hiding in the forest. ”

The rear transferred 250 tanks of military chlorine to the commander-in-chief. At that time, thousands of riotous peasants were already being imprisoned in hastily erected concentration camps in the Tambov region.

Tukhachevsky's army group, which had tens of thousands of fighters, destroyed most of the Tambov region with poison gas and fire.

However, the Russian riots were one after another, and Kronstadt was rioting again.

This riot was crushed by Trotsky himself.

In this riot, Stalin showed no enthusiasm. He knew that the party was watching with a gloomy heart: Tukhachevsky, a former Tsarist Russian officer, and the Bolshevik chalkers were crushing sailors.

Kronstadt is holding on. The local newspaper wrote: "Marshal Trotsky, standing knee-deep in a pool of blood, opened fire on the Kronstadt. Kronstadt rose up against the tyranny of the Communists in order to establish a genuine Soviet power. ”

Lenin forced the party to participate in the bloody repression of the disloyaltious. Opening of the 10th Party Congress. A mobilization was made, and 300 delegates set off to rush across the frozen bay towards Langstadt. The uprising was crushed by the chalk. However, a part of the insurgents fled from the ice to Finland.

The whole country is tired of this life of poverty. The pillars of the regime rose up in rebellion.

Lenin then turned a dizzying heel: burying utopia and Marx's ideals, announcing the transition to the NEP, much to the surprise of the 10th Party Congress.

Not a single idea was left of the ideas put forward by the Bolsheviks when they were in power.

Not to make the country die, but to build a new strong state. Instead of destroying the currency, the NEP announced that it would make the ruble strong.

Lenin abolished the method of requisitioning grain by force and replaced it with an ordinary grain tax. Farmers are allowed to sell their surpluses!

The market emerged, which was originally regarded as the pillar of capitalism for all evil. Instead of driving the peasants into the collective farms, as originally intended, they were free.

The Bolsheviks were already doing business with the capitalist countries, and they were not thinking about igniting a world fire, but about their own prosperity!

Many people listened to Lenin's words: "Seriously implement the NEP ...... for a long time".

The words of the party's collar are nothing more than tactical considerations. The real long-term plan, the strategy, should be covered up and announced later.

Tragedy struck: Lenin was confronted with an angry mass of party members, who did not know the truth and thought that the great utopia had died "seriously". He understands that the opposition will take advantage of the situation.

"The NEP has caused panic, whining, frustration and rage within the party." （

NEP ...... In the streets appeared luxurious carriages, automobiles, in which sat all evil, "new bourgeois ...... who did not kill them" - this is what the party called them, beautiful women in mink coats, roulette.

Moscow has become a gentle and wealthy town. Food appeared as if it were coming out of the ground, and restaurants opened. At that time, someone wrote: "Perfume is like a wave, diamonds are like clouds, lust-obsessed eyes are staring at women's thighs, opening and closing their mouths for foreign exchange, exchanges, ......"

All this resembles the "Thermidorian coup" that once hated the Bolsheviks!

The Bolsheviks are going down the old road! . ）
