Lenin: Documents, Facts, Recollections Reel # 13: Lenin: Documents, Facts, Recollections 01:15:20***View of Red Square*** ‐ Commentator: Lenin’s life is an exploit. Lenin was unstoppable revolutionary leader, who was lightened with a creative thought. Every document, recollection and fact presents us with grandiose life of Lenin. Lenin. Documents. Facts. Recollections. 01:44:06 ‐ Commentator: “I knew Lenin close and discovered another side of Lenin, which is not obvious. He had an extraordinary will for life.” This is a fragment from memoirs of Anatoly Vasilyevich Lunacharsky. 02:09:02***View of Lenin*** ‐ Commentator: Maxim Gorki recollected: “Once I asked one worker: What is the most prominent feature of Lenin’s character?” Worker answered: “Simplicity. He is simple as truth.” 02:30:02***View Lenin on truck*** ‐ Commentator: “Simple on the fist glimpse appearance,” said Gleb Krijanovski about Lenin. “But it is only in fist glimpse.” Lenin used simple words but in such order in which was seen the great intellect he had. 03:38:04***View of Lenin’s photographs*** ‐ Commentator: Lenin’s smile… When Ilyich listened to you with this smile, you were sure about his deep understanding of the matter. It was something, which always attracted very strong and warm love towards Lenin with the cute wrinkles around his eyes. 04:04:10***View of Lunacharsky photo*** ‐ Commentator: Lunacharsky often recollected the following story, which occurred when he first met Lenin in Paris in 1904. Lunacharski lived in Paris after serving the term of his Siberia exile. He heard about Lenin from their common friends and read his books. Lenin even wrote to Lunacharsky prior their meeting inviting him to join him in Switzerland to work on a newspaper. However, Lenin came for him to Paris. In the day of their first meeting Lunacharsky invited Lenin to visit a workshop of his friend sculptor Aronson. There were sculptures made of marble, bronze and plaster. Lenin looked around with curiosity but without critic. Aronson never heard about Lenin, yet he was so impressed by the beauty of Lenin’s head and especially his forehead. Aronson admitted that he only saw the same examples of human beauty in the best sculptures of Socrates. (View of Aronson photo) Aronson begged Lunacharsky to convince Lenin to pose for him. Lunacharsky told Lenin about it and Socrates, which caused Lenin to laugh hard. Only after Lenin’s death the sculptor was able to recreate in marble the image of a leader of the revolution. Lenin was higher than any prophet of the past: he destroyed without a mercy and restructured powerfully. 06:07:00***View of Lenin’s sculpture*** ‐ Commentator: This is how the artist imagined Lenin. Reel # 14: 00:11:03***View of Mayakovski photo*** ‐ Commentator: Mayakovski had his own Lenin too. “Two in the room: Lenin and I, Photographs on the white wall, The mouth is opened during a passionate speech, The moustache hair is lifted up and the forehead wrinkles is reserved the human, The vast forehead with a vast thought.” 00:41:23***View of drawing of Lenin*** ‐ Commentator: John Reed chose this drawing of Lenin for his book Ten Days that Shook the World. He wrote about Lenin that he was an extraordinary national leader. 00:53:02***View of Esenin house*** ‐ Commentator: This is a house in Konstantinovo village where lived Sergey Esenin. “Shy, simple and dear, I don’t understand, With what strength, You were able to shake the world.” 01:09:17***View of Lenin photograph*** ‐ Commentator: This is the photo of Lenin in 1910 in Paris, which he sent to his mother. It stood on Maria Alexandrovna’s table till the last day of her life. 01:25:07***View of Lenin photo*** ‐ Commentator: “Very special feature of Lenin’s character was his truthfulness with himself; he never lost his head from a success and was able to estimate the true facts,” wrote Nadezhda Konstantinovna in her book Recollection about Lenin. 01:38:12***View of Bertram Russell photo*** ‐ Commentator: Bertram Russell, who is the famous English logician, after meeting with Lenin in 1920 told: “Our century will be remembered as a century of Lenin.” 01:56:17***View of crowd*** ‐ Commentator: During the opening of the Second Congress of Commentern in revolutionary Petrograd many democratic and communist parties cheered Lenin, who was an organizer and leader of the first communist government. Lenin’s presentation at the congress had become the main program for actions directing all worlds’ communist parties. At the same time at Palace square in Petrograd was staged a performance Revolution. It was just recently, when Alexander Kerensky was a dictator of Russia; and now he is just a character of the play. While a person is weak he hates his enemy, but the person laughs when the enemy is defeated. Time is a big joker and a big poet. In order to win and for the future success of the nation, today shows its yesterday victory; nation wants to wetness its strength. 04:20:02***View of finale of the performance*** ‐ Commentator: But it does not really matter how strong is the imagination of the artist because it will never be able to present the reality that is captured in the documents, films and old photographs. 04:47:14***View of group photograph with Lenin*** ‐ Commentator: Pavel Jukov took these photographs during the opening of the Congress on July 19 in 1920 year. Soon Jukov came to Moscow; he dreamed about creating Lenin’s portrait. The secretary of Sovnarkom Lidia Fotiva recollected: “Knowing that Lenin was extremely busy, Jukov asked only for one and the half minute.” Jukov asked Lenin before a photo shoot to be more relaxed and less serious. Jukov made two portraits. Tense preoccupation was Lenin’s usual state. “Lenin was a colossal thinker,” recollected Krupskaya. These photographs taken by Jukov are the first photographs capturing alikeness of real Lenin. 06:16:05***View of Pavel Jukov*** ‐ Commentator: Pavel Jukov knew Ulyanov family for a long time. ***View of Jukov honor document issued by Lenin’s father back in Simbirsk on June 6 of 1882*** These photographs Jukov took when he came to visit his relatives in the countryside. He was eighteenth child in regular farmer’s family. He went to this school, one of the schools that were organized by Ilya Nikolayevich. Children in those schools were taught different occupations and even singing. However, the fist piano Pavel saw at his friend’s Vladimir Ulyanov house. Maria Alexandrovna taught Pavel to listen and understand music. At Ulyanov house Pavel found a completely new world. In Ulyanov family did not talk about respect towards people; it was norm to do so. Moreover, Ulyanov children followed the example of their parents and learn to respect from the books of Belinsky, Dobrolubov, Gercin, Chernishevsky. Chernishevski book What’s to be Done? was one of the favorite Lenin’s books. 08:39:19***Photo of Ilya Nikolayevich Ulyanov*** ‐ Commentator: Recollecting about his father, Anna Ilyinishna told that their children soles were immensely influenced by their father’s personality, the way he talked, his believes into education and goodness of all people. World judge Nazaryev wrote in European Vestnik:” The only one person who pushes for reforms is inspector of national schools.” Ilya Nikolayevich Ulyanov considered himself as a traditional Russian democrat educator. On the fist congress of teachers of Simbirsk province, which he organized, Ilya Nikolayevich told about his convictions. He presented the ideas of how teachers should educate children to be honest and reflective. That was a way how he brought his children and that is how he wanted the teachers educate all students. However, the strength and decision‐making power was not on his side yet… Reel # 9: The Treaty of Brest‐Litovsk 00:12:17***View of horse carriage*** ‐ Commentator: Ilya Nikolayevich Ulyanov (Lenin’s father) always thought of people’s interests. He had been gone for weeks on the similar carriage around Simbirsk province helping to open new schools. 00:33:13***Photographs of peasants, music playing*** ‐ Commentator: These photographs of Simbirsk peasants were taken at the same time. The Simbirsk province at that time was considered to be of one of the richest provinces of Russia. 01:24:22*** Photographs of peasants*** ‐ Commentator: This kind of life children of the director of public schools in Simbirs province saw the fist time from these photographs. He always shared his sincere ideas and thoughts with his children. 01:38:01***View of photograph with young Ilyich*** ‐ Commentator: Very attentively Ilyich listened to his father stories about village life. Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya told this later. This factor influenced Ilyich from childhood to follow the life of village people and his revolutionary activities. O1: 55:10***Photo of Lenin at congress*** ‐ Commentator: 26 August 1918 Lenin organized the fist Russian congress of education. “Millions of people strive to learn by syllables how to write their name. Millions of people lacking the most necessary knowledge, the most primitive culture,” said Lenin. 02:21:06*** *** ‐ Commentator: These are slides made in 1918 do not show big difference of photographs made by Ilya Nikolayevich. However, new farmers were beginning to emerge. 02:44:23***Photo of Lenin speaking*** ‐ Commentator: Status of national teacher should be uplifted to the level where it never could be in bourgeon society. Even though thousands of new teacher still were standing among their students armed with old ruffles but with a new Azbuka (=textbook for reading). Ii – Ilyich with an iron sweep /Sweeping traitors from the streets. 03:23:12 ‐ Commentator: People have a very strong desire for culture, besides we are an extremely poor nation.

    REVIEW OF WALL STREET AND THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION1 BY ANTONY C. SUTTON (CLAIRVIEW BOOKS, UK 2011, 232 PAGES) CHRISTIAN RIPPEL One barrier to mature understanding of recent history is the notion that all capitalists are the bitter and unswerving enemies of all Marxists and socialists. This erroneous idea originated with Karl Marx and was undoubtedly useful to his purposes. In fact, the idea is nonsense. There has been a continuing, albeit concealed, alliance between international political capitalists and international revolu- tionary socialists —to their mutual benefit. (Sutton 2011, p .17) The open-minded reader should bear two clues in mind: monopo- ly capitalists are the bitter enemies of laissez-faire entrepreneurs; and, given the weaknesses of socialist central planning, the totali- tarian socialist state is a perfect captive market for monopoly capi- talists, if an alliance can be made with the socialist powerbrokers.

  • Title of Thesis: ABSTRACT CLASSIFYING BIAS
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

    The Anniversaries of the October Revolution, 1918-1927: Politics and Imagery by Susan M. Corbesero B.A., Pennsylvania State University, 1985 M.A., University of Pittsburgh, 1988 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2005 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Susan Marie Corbesero It was defended on November 18, 2005 and approved by William J. Chase Seymour Drescher Helena Goscilo Gregor Thum William J. Chase Dissertation Director ii The Anniversary of the October Revolution, 1918-1927: Politics and Imagery Susan M. Corbesero, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 This dissertation explores the politics and imagery in the anniversary celebrations of the October Revolution in Moscow and Leningrad from 1918 to 1927. Central to Bolshevik efforts to take political and symbolic control of society, these early celebrations not only provided a vehicle for agitation on behalf of the Soviet regime, but also reflected changing popular and official perceptions of the meanings and goals of October. This study argues that politicians, cultural producers, and the urban public contributed to the design and meaning of the political anniversaries, engendering a negotiation of culture between the new Soviet state and its participants. Like the Revolution they sought to commemorate, the October celebrations unleashed and were shaped by both constructive and destructive forces. A combination of variable party and administrative controls, harsh economic realities, competing cultural strategies, and limitations of the existing mass media also influenced the Bolshevik commemorative projects.

  • Lenin As a Development Economist: a Study in Application of Marx's Theory
    Russian Journal of Economics 7 (2021) 34–49 DOI 10.32609/j.ruje.7.57963 Publication date: 31 March 2021 www.rujec.org Lenin as a development economist: A study in application of Marx’s theory in Russia Denis V. Melnik* HSE University, Moscow, Russia Abstract The paper provides an interpretation of Lenin’s earliest contributions (made in 1893–1899) to the study of economic development. In the 1890s, Lenin joined young Marxist intellectu- als in their fight against the Narodnik economists, who represented the approach prevalent among the Russian radical intelligentsia in the 1870s–1880s. That was the fight over the right to control the Marxist narrative in Russia. Lenin elaborated his theoretical interpretation of Marxism as applied to the contentious issues of Russia’s economic development. The paper outlines the context of Lenin’s activity in the 1890s. It suggests that the main theoretical challenge to “orthodox Marxist” intellectuals in applying Marx’s theory to Russia stemmed not from their designated opponents, but from Marx himself, who presented two divergent scenarios — the dynamic and the breakdown — for capitalist development. Lenin provided an analytical substantiation for the dynamic one but eventually allowed for consideration of structural heterogeneity in the development process. This resulted in the notion of uneven- ness, on which he would rely upon later, in his studies of imperialism. The paper also briefly considers the place of Lenin’s early development studies in his legacy. Keywords: Lenin, Marxism, Marxism in Russia, theories of economic development, Marxist theory of accumulation. JEL classification: B14, B24, B31. 1. Introduction The amount of literature dedicated to Lenin is vast.

  • Workers and Intelligentsia in Late Imperial Russia: Realities, Representations, Reflections
    Workers and Intelligentsia in Late Imperial Russia: Realities, Representations, Reflections Edited by Reginald E. Zelnik Description: The collapse of the Soviet Union opened previously unimagined possibilities for insight into Russian social, intellectual, and political history. This volume, a collaboration of American, Russian, and West European scholars, illuminates the creation and complex dynamics of the Russian industrial working class from its peasant origins in the mid-nineteenth century to the collapse of the imperial system in 1917. The authors focus on the shifting attitudes, cultural norms, self-representations, and increasing self-consciousness of workers as they interacted with the new social movements, student groups, the Church, and most dramatically, the political (mainly radical and liberal) intelligentsia. But the authors also examine the obverse: the contending representations of workers by the intelligentsia as they interacted with each other ever more intensely during this turbulent period leading up to the Russian Revolution. The result is a fascinating and detailed account of social and cultural transformation in a key period of Russian — and world — history.

  • La Gosbank E L'unione Sovietica
    LA GOSBANK E L’UNIONE SOVIETICA di Maurizio Barozzi «[Il sistema bancario sovietico] “Possiede anche filiali a Londra e a Parigi (un poco mimetizzate). Ci si può chiedere se tutto ciò non influirà sui metodi e le concezioni della direzione sovietica, così come gli istituti creditizi di proprietà del partito argentino influiscono sulla sua linea di intervento politico» Ernesto Che Guevara. Questo articolo necessita di una premessa: la Storia non è decifrabile solo con la prospettiva cospirazionista, quantunque, il “complotto”, il sottacere, la false flag, ne costituiscono sempre un elemento inscindibile, essendo connaturate alla natura LENIN STALIN umana. E non lo è perchè nonostante le strumentalizzazioni e le trame dietro le quinte, gli avvenimenti storici, hanno poi spesso un loro sviluppo in cui subentrano azioni e reazioni (la chiamano eterogenesi dei fini), cause e concause, che ne cambiano il decorso o comunque ne rendono più complessa l’interpreetazione. Nella editoria o nel web, si trovano libri, saggi e articoli che, pur escludendo le vere e proprie bufale, hanno comunque una impostazione “cospiratoria”, anche sull’argomento oggetto di questo articolo: la finanza, la Gosbank e l’URSS. A nostro avviso questi articoli, se così impostati, cioè su presupposti “complittistici”, sono devianti, perchè anche ammesso che abbiano un minimo di prove, il che spesso non è, trattandosi più che altro di indizi, coincidenze e congetture, per i motivi di cui sopra, non portano a nulla e sono facilmente contestabili. I finanziamenti di Wall Street alla rivoluzione bolscevica Cosicchè il Web e non solo, è pieno di teorie cospirative, ispirate per esempio dal fatto, in questo caso effettivamente sconcertante di così tanti e ingenti finanziamenti alla rivoluzione bolscevica (1917), oggi ampiamente comprovati con vecchi documenti e tanto di ricevute bancarie, per i quali si pretende asserire che furono parte di una congiura ebraica per procacciarsi un potere mondiale attraverso il bolscevismo.
