SummaryA radical attempts to change parts of a society. A leader revolutionizes an entire country. Few people can be called “saviors” (Gluzman), but Vladimir Lenin earned this title as well as others. Lenin not only addressed the problems of Russia, but also brought about a new era in Russian history. His actions can still be felt in modern times and will undoubtedly be felt for years to come.
Lenin was born in the small town of Simbirsk (it was later renamed Ulyanovsk in his honor). His birth name was Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. His father was a Russian official who fought for free universal education. Lenin had two siblings, a brother and a sister. His brother was arrested in 1887 in connection to a terrorist plan to kill the Tsar. He was hanged for this crime shortly after the arrest. The death of Lenin’s brother is what drove him to revolution.
Soon after his brother’s death, Lenin became interested in Marxism. He began to study the works of the philosopher and found that he agreed with many of them. At the same time, he was involved in many student protests and was arrested multiple times. He was expelled from Kazan University. His expulsion only drove him to study harder. He worked on his education on his own and was licensed to practice law by 1891. He had also mastered Greek, Latin, German, and French. Between his expulsion and his licensing for law, Lenin translated Marx’s Communist Manifesto into Russian for the first time.
