[vladimirkorovin]

one possibly bringing down the soviet nation am i right.

[jutka]

No he was not a bad man.

Hope that helps.

[vladimirkorovin]

stalin wasnt either?

[red^blade]

Nah man, imagine how bad the world would be with 2 communist super powers.

I mean look at the world now, with the collapse of the USSR America is doing anything it wants.

That's why the USSR was good, it kept the USA in order and vice versa.

Lenin was a bad man. And he was a mad man, too.

[vladimirkorovin]

I agree the world needs a new superpower for balance and I dont know why generalzo thinks lenin was mad and bad give me 3 reasons. Plus the us must think any other powerful country with a diffrent goverment is evil.

Russia is a great country, with glorious history and culture. Russia must live for the good of Russian people, and not to be balance to anyone or to be a simple mean of the world revolution or some other mad idea. Lenin was bad exactly because of that - for him, Russia was only a mean for achievment of his mad goals and he had no scrupules to sacrifice millions of lives in his machiavellian actions... Please, read some of his works, and you will see how he was full of hatred against his political opponents and, further more, against the people who had only the slightly different political wiew than he had.

Why he was mad? It is usual that a revolutionary is obsessed with revolution, of course. However, in Lenin's case, his maniacal obsession with revolution was really pathological. For example, few months before his death, when he lost his ability to speek, they brought his dog in front of him and ask him to repeat the words: "This is my dog". And he was not ably to do that. But, in the same time, he was able to pronounce correctly complex foreign words as "resolution", "comitee", "proletariat", etc...
