The red project became salvation for Russia
Illness and death
On August 30, 1918, Lenin miraculously survived the assassination attempt of Socialist-Revolutionary Fanny Kaplan. This assassination attempt ruined his health. Since 1921, he was constantly ill, suffering from atherosclerosis, which led to a sharp deterioration in his health and subsequently caused death.
His health was deteriorating, and to better care for him, Lenin moved to the Gorki estate. At the end of May he suffered his first stroke, but his functions were partially restored, and the Soviet leader returned to work in October of the same year. The high workload soon provoked a second stroke: on December 16, 1922, as a result of a stroke - a cerebral hemorrhage - Lenin's right arm and leg were partially paralyzed. Having partially recovered, Lenin returned to the Kremlin and began work on his final articles.
On March 9, 1923, a third hemorrhage occurred, the consequence of which was speech impairment. Lenin was again transported to Gorki, where his health periodically improved, but the disease progressed. On January 21, 1924, the fourth cerebral hemorrhage occurred, death was recorded at 18:50.
Vladimir Ilyich died at the age of 53. On January 23, 1924, the coffin with the body was delivered to Moscow in a baggage car. The coffin was installed in the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions, where the official farewell took place for five days and nights. On January 25, the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR decided to build a crypt near the Kremlin wall among the mass graves and open it to the public. The next day, at the Second All-Union Congress of Soviets, the resolution was approved.

The funeral took place on January 27, 1924 in Moscow on Red Square. For this purpose, a wooden Mausoleum was built. The stone mausoleum was built by October 1930, and Lenin’s embalmed body still rests in it. Since 1925, at the mausoleum there has been a laboratory for the preservation of Lenin’s body.
The Soviet leadership became concerned about the fate of Lenin's body in the event of his death while the leader was still alive: in the fall of 1923, a Politburo meeting was held on this issue. Stalin reported that Lenin's health had deteriorated greatly and death was possible. In this regard, Stalin announced:
“This question, as I learned, is of great concern to some of our comrades in the provinces... Lenin’s body needs to be embalmed. There are the latest methods in this regard, thus preserving Lenin for many years. This does not contradict old Russian customs. Place him in a specially equipped crypt."
Trotsky sharply opposed it. In his opinion, they wanted to bury Lenin "in Russian, according to the canons of the Russian Orthodox Church, saints were made with relics" Trotsky was supported by Bukharin, who considered the idea of embalming "exalting the ashes", and Kamenev, who stated that
“This idea is nothing more than real priesthood; Lenin himself would have condemned and rejected it.”
But in the end, the idea of embalming prevailed. She was supported by Felix Dzerzhinsky (he headed the commission for organizing Lenin’s funeral), Vyacheslav Molotov, Leonid Krasin, Nikolai Muralov. The main motive was the requests of the proletariat and ordinary party members to preserve the body of their beloved leader for as long as possible. This idea was voiced by Kalinin. Lenin's relatives and his wife Nadezhda Krupskaya were against it.

The black myth of Lenin
After the collapse of the USSR in new Russia, they began to form a black myth about the traitor Lenin and the Bolsheviks, who killed “Holy Rus'”. Like, the Bolsheviks and Lenin destroyed "historical Russia”, in which everything was great - the crunch of a French roll, balls, cadets and beauties, the rapid development of the economy. The Bolshevik commissars and Lenin personally were portrayed as an evil force that killed and trampled the Russian Empire. This myth was supported by both monarchists and nationalists, as well as liberal democrats and Westerners.
Lenin and the Bolsheviks were sculpted into the image of bloody ghouls, mercenaries of German intelligence, who destroyed Russian statehood, overthrew the autocracy, killed the Tsar and his family, unleashed a bloody civil war, drowned the country in the blood of millions of innocent victims in order to seize power. And after the victory, they set up a totalitarian concentration camp in Russia, the “evil empire” - the USSR.
In general, in the Russian Federation, the authorities and circles around the government, the liberal intelligentsia generally hated the Soviet period of Russian history. The totalitarian soviet, Stalinist repressions, the Gulag, they achieved victory by “filling the Germans with corpses.” They allegedly did nothing except galoshes. Although in recent years it has become clear: all that is left in the Russian Federation, more or less developed, is the legacy of Soviet civilization. And it was in the Russian Federation that they killed the highly developed Soviet industry, leaving the state and people without their planes, cars, trucks, ships (the body is ours, all the filling is electronics, the engines are imported), tractors, motorcycles, machine tools and even nails.

The empire was destroyed by the then Russian elite
Historical facts show that it was not Lenin or the Bolsheviks who destroyed the Russian Empire and autocracy. Lenin was in exile, had virtually no influence in Russia before the February Revolution and believed that he would not live to see the revolution. The Bolsheviks were a marginal, small party, which in all respects was inferior to the Cadets or Socialist Revolutionaries. The bourgeois elite of society was dominated by the Cadets and Octobrists, the Mensheviks were popular among the workers, the Socialist Revolutionaries were popular among the peasants, and local socialists and nationalists were popular in the national outskirts of Ukraine.
They had the courage to oppose the imperialist war during the First World War and were almost completely defeated. Some activists were thrown into prison or exiled, others fled the country.
With Lenin, as with the leaders of other revolutionary parties and movements, German intelligence played its own game. There was a war going on, the Second Reich used every opportunity to weaken the enemy. Revolutionaries of all stripes also played their own game, everyone tried to deceive each other. Also, do not forget that the tsarist secret police and intelligence services of the Russian Empire played their game with the revolutionaries.
There is an interesting and not devoid of logic version that Russian counterintelligence, having the best analysts, generally created the Red (Bolshevik) project to save Russian statehood and people. In particular, during the Time of Troubles, a significant part of the officers of the General Staff and the officers of the tsarist army followed the Bolsheviks, as they saw in them an opportunity to save Russia. This was one of the reasons for the Bolshevik victory in the Civil War. The Red project was in the interests of the state and the people, unlike the White one - in the interests of world capital.
The Russian autocracy and the Russian Empire were killed not by Lenin’s commissars and Red Guards, but by the top of “old Russia” - grand dukes and aristocrats, generals and high dignitaries, members of the Duma and leaders of leading parties, bankers and industrialists, the bourgeoisie and liberal intelligentsia. Even the clergy took part in this matter. The wealthy, prosperous and educated part of Russian society wanted to live “like in the West”, to create a “nice” Holland, England or France in Russia. Without a king, autocracy, feudal “remnants”, with rights and freedoms. Create a parliamentary republic. Make Russia part of European civilization. An old dream of Westerners. In 1917, these were the February revolutionaries.
High-ranking and well-off elite groups of Februaryists destroyed the autocracy and opened Pandora's box. Deep contradictions and fault lines have been accumulating in Russia for centuries. Autocracy and a strong army were the last bonds that held back chaos. The February Westerners destroyed them. The Russian Troubles began. War of city and countryside. Criminal revolution. Intervention. War of the Red and White projects. War of the people's project (free farmers) against everyone. "Parade of Sovereignties".

The Red Project saved Russian civilization
The Tsarist government, having bought into the tricks of the West and got involved in a world war, and then the Provisional Government led civilization, the state and the people to destruction. The civil war began already under the Februaryists, as a peasant war, a war between city and countryside. The provisional government finished off the imperial army and destroyed the control system. The country was falling apart. Separatists and nationalists, including the Cossacks, who declared themselves a separate people, were tearing Russia apart. None of the main issues have been resolved. The bloody turmoil and the intervention of external forces put an end to the Russian world and the people.
Only the October Revolution saved Russia. Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Russian communists took power that was simply lying in the dirt. They answered the main questions: peace to the peoples, land to the peasants, factories to the workers, power to the Soviets, democracy, the right of nations to self-determination. Russian communists made a decisive break with the past world and did not try to resurrect a corpse. However, they offered the people a new reality and a new world.
The Bolsheviks had an image of a new world, attractive to the overwhelming majority of the people (workers, peasants, part of the Cossacks and officers, intelligentsia), they had an iron will, energy, faith and organization.
The communist ideal also coincided with the matrix-code of Russian civilization and people. It was a community-commune of people living according to conscience and truth. A world without exploitation of man by man, without social parasitism.
It is no coincidence that the ideas of communism coincided with the thoughts of many Russian, Christian-minded thinkers and philosophers. The Bolsheviks were for social justice and rejected the spirit of robbery, appropriation and parasitism (predatory capitalism). Communism stood on the ethics of honest work, solidarity-conciliarity, the unity of society in the work of creation, which also corresponded to the foundations of the Russian world. There were also ideas of the primacy of truth over the law, the spiritual over the material. This was the super idea of a new society of the future. Factories and schools, institutes and laboratories instead of taverns and brothels.
Thus, Lenin and the Russian communists proposed the Red (Soviet) project to the people. They became the only force that proposed a new reality after the civilizational and state catastrophe of 1917. A reality that was close to the Russian matrix. Thus, they saved Russian civilization and people from complete destruction, fading into the role of food for other projects (the West), civilizations and states. They gave Russia new breath and life. They created a Soviet project, a civilization of the future.

Creator of a new reality
Lenin and his party saved Russia from collapse. Russian communists suppressed the unrest with an iron fist. They defeated the White Project - an attempt to restore bourgeois society, to establish capitalism and the matrix of Western society.
The Leninists were able to calm down the village, which opposed any state and authority. We defeated crime, although the fight against gangs dragged on. They defeated the separatists, including the Basmachi (the forerunner of today's jihadists). They forced the intervention troops to leave - all the great powers of that time. Lenin and the Bolsheviks laid the foundation for a new Russian great power - the USSR.
Under Lenin, working people began to receive free housing and free education for the first time - the children of peasants and workers became generals and marshals, ministers and academicians, doctors of sciences and designers, pilots and teachers.
Soviet Russia was the first in Europe to introduce an 8-hour working day, eliminate the brutal exploitation of the working class, and introduce paid annual leave, which previously did not exist. The Bolsheviks introduced universal rights to free medical care and full social insurance. That is, all the achievements of the social state, which the current capitalist plutocrats are consistently destroying.
Lenin became the creator of the social state, a symbol of social justice, who showed all humanity that it was possible to create a new world, to challenge the ruthless world of exploitation and slavery. The mere appearance of social guarantees in Russia, the creation of a state of workers and peasants led to a world revolution and the destruction of the colonial, slave-owning system. All over the world, oppressed and enslaved peoples sought freedom and social change. The world of capitalism had to hide its predatory grin while the Soviet Union was in the world. The West had to create a “showcase of capitalism” - a middle class, a consumer society, and make concessions to socialists, social democrats, workers and employees.
Lenin is a man of global scale. Thanks to the Great October Revolution, the entire world history changed. Many peoples and countries received freedom and unprecedented rights. Lenin is a great philosopher and thinker, economist and sociologist, statesman and politician. Compared to today's dummy politicians, deceivers and talkers, Lenin is a real titan.
In general, in relation to Lenin, the Chinese formula according to their great leader Mao Zedong can be considered correct: more merits than mistakes.
Therefore, the people evaluate the figures of Lenin and Stalin differently than the capitalist plutocrats and Westerners. Ordinary people began to realize that the only way to overcome the current crisis, which threatens Russia with a new catastrophe, is a new socialist project based on social justice and ethics of conscience. The power of the People's Councils, the nationalization of the financial system, banks and strategic industries.
With the rejection of the Western model - predatory, parasitic, from the Western consumer society - the “golden calf”. With the creation of our own Russian world, the reunification of all Russian lands. The creation of a “golden age” society, a society of knowledge, service and creation, where man is a creator, a creator.
