President Putin spoke about the negative role of Lenin, answering the replica head of the Kurchatov Institute Mikhail Kovalchuk. At a meeting of the Presidential Council for Science Kovalchuk quoted a poem by Boris Pasternak about Vladimir Lenin: “He ran a current of thought and only because – the country».
It is worth noting that the author of “Doctor Zhivago” is ambiguous, but respectfully evaluate the role of Lenin in Russian history. Putin, responding to these lines, he said that “control over thought” right, but in the case of Lenin, it led to incorrect results. “Ultimately, this idea led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, that’s what. There were many thoughts of: autonomy, and so on.
lay an atomic bomb under the building, which is called Russia, she jerked later.
And the world revolution, we did not need. Here’s a thought there, “- Putin said.
Putin earlier negative assessment of Lenin’s role in the history of Russia and in public statements condemning the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. In turn, remembering Stalin, it negatively assessed his role in the organization of mass repressions, but gave him credit as the winner in the Second World War and the architect of the postwar world.
As the first vice-president of the Center for Political Technologies, political analyst and historian Alexei Makarkin, “Lenin disliked Putin first of all that he had made the creation of the USSR as the state with the right to secede and came to Russia from Germany and, therefore,” took money from abroad ».
According to the analyst Constantine Kalachev, Putin is no coincidence negatively spoke about Lenin by selecting the date of his death, which was dedicated to the memorable performance Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov. “Putin would suggest how to unleash discussion. You can discuss the current crisis, and it is possible role of Lenin. Question – that will choose the communists – says the analyst. – If the ruble will continue to fall, it is the best way to switch attention and started another debate about our history. Do not forget that this is election year ».
According Kalacheva, neither Putin nor the country’s leadership does not want to talk about those aspects of Lenin’s legacy, which could be called relevant. These include the New Economic Policy which Lenin proposed in 1921 after he realized that “war communism” has not justified itself.
«Putin about NEP prefer not to say . Although it is out of the inheritance is now true – open space initiative.
«Let’s talk about the ruble?” – “No, let’s on Lenin’s views on the issues of national-state structure”, – says Kalachev.
harsh words about the Russian president’s “subversive” as Lenin made on the anniversary of his death, caused a rebuke from the representatives of the Communist Party.
«This is not the first of its anti-communist statement, and history will not forgive him. I do not think, for example, Barack Obama spoke out against so hard his predecessor George Washington “- said” Gazeta.ru “Duma deputy from the Communist Party Sergei Obukhov. Commenting on Putin’s words that Lenin “has laid an atomic bomb” under the historical Russian, Obukhov said that nuclear weapons, which is the country, appeared in her thanks to the Soviet leaders.
At the same time, the Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov did not express its attitude towards Putin said. Experts note that the leader of the Communist Party is in a difficult position – despite the fact that the political and economic views Putin hostile to the Communist Party, Zyuganov made a tactical alliance with Putin because of the consensus on foreign policy issues.
Putin did not go to the burial of Lenin despite the fact that this step maintains more than 61% of the Russians. According to Makarkin, this is due to the fact that the cause of the protest among Putin’s electorate. “The old men with medals just stand in front of the Mausoleum, and will not allow it,” – said the expert.
For those members of the electorate of Putin, who hold anti-communist views, the issue of reburial of Lenin is not so is essential.
«They believe that it can be transferred, but sometime later – says Makarkin. – Lenin, of course, “helped Ukraine” – remember the negative reaction to “leninapad” in Ukraine after the overthrow of President Viktor Yanukovych. ” In Russia, the demolition of monuments to Lenin was perceived not as a farewell to communism, but as the dismantling of the Soviet legacy.
