For Russians:Do you think the Russian revolution was a mistake? |
Travel Info For Russians:Do you think the Russian revolution was a mistake? Travel Tips I do not believe it was a mistake. The revolution would have happened one way or another; there is no question about that. At that time, the world was rapidly moving towards the Industrialism and greater job specialization. However, in Russia, the tsar tried to preserve the monarchial order of the economy concentrating the wealth in the hands of a very few. The pressure of the outside industrial world and the forces inside the country, all dictated that the revolution was imminent. The way how it was handled though is another question/ Others Im not a russian but i wish to be one... No way!! It was not. Because of that I have the freedom and the open mind... and all other political, economical, social benefits which outweigh the costs. yes. the russian revolution was meant to be a revolt of the masses against the royalty of russia. but it was not meant to be. after the communists became the leaders, a new breed of royalty was born, the nomenklatura w/c are the bigwigs of the russian communist party. members of the nomenklatura are provided with the best in russia. they have luxurious vacation houses or dachas. they have limosines while the ordinary russian has to fall in line to get almost everything they need. so much for a classless society. I guess we are talking about 1917 and not 1991. I think we should consider February through October events as one revolution. No, it was not a mistake, and the outcome of the revolution was also predictable, if you look at other similar events in history (revolutions kill their own leaders, people who come to power and benefit most are not the ones who started the revolution). Having said that I admit that October events could be avoided and the outcome of the Civil War could be different. yes, my personal opinion - it was a mistake, the revolution didn't give russia anything, but we lost one of the finest scientists, writers and people who had been nothing before became everything, yes, the revolution was the result of the tzar's actions (or inactions), but revolution is never a way out Which one you meant? We ve had a lot of them namely 1905, 1917??? remember in 1991 - tough time for Russia- perestroyka can also be considered as revolution theoretically. Great October Revolution, dethronemet of Nickolay II, devastation in the heads of people, depletion of henofond of the nation, persecution of intelligentsia...it is always terrifying..it is a bleeding wound with inevitable consequences. |
