Lenin, the peasants, the Prodrazverstka (plus Russian landlords, German Baltic barons and the "rebel" Yemelyan Pugachev). To the understanding of the history of Russia.
After midnight, on March 26, 2024, a broadcast was on the radio about the forced withdrawal of food from Russian peasants after October 25 (November 7), 1917.
The interlocutors came to a logical barrier: how is it that: the peasants believed Lenin, received a land, in the Russian countryside a lot of educated people were social revolutionaries, and it came to the fact that the food squads began to forcibly withdraw food from the peasants. Some of the peasants were declared "enemies of the people."
Yes, it wasn't good.
But we can recall that for some time the young Lenin "worked" as a pomeshchik (the owner of pomestye, i.e., an estate) (the landowner). His mother apparently tried to distract her son from revolutionary activities.
The realization that Lenin was a landowner for some time is the first level of understanding of the Prodrazverstka (the forced withdrawal of food from Russian peasants).
Having "worked" as a landowner, Lenin gained experience in understanding the peasants. And the short experience (before exile to Siberia) of working as an assistent of lawer, the experience of fragmentary work as a professional revolutionary - all this helped Lenin to understand the moods and psychological algorithms of activity not only of peasants, but also of representatives of other social strata of pre-revolutionary Russia.
Interestingly, the son of an intellectual (or almost an intellectual) spoke extremely negatively about the Russian intelligentsia and called it an offensive word.
Lenin's social role as a landowner quite fully explains the Prodrazverstka (the forced withdrawal of food from Russian peasants) and other post-revolutionary phenomena.
The landowner has household staff (domestic servants), and the peasants pay rent with agriculture products (prodrazverstka) or they work in the corvee (in favor of the master for free). We see all this after the "proletarian" revolution of 1917, but on a completely different level.
If necessary, the landowner and the household staff (domestic servants) ensure order in the estate. We can also observe these phenomena - but on a different level - after the "proletarian" revolution of 1917.
So, the role of the landowner (Lenin's role as a landowner) explains a lot in the post-revolutionary events (including the Prodrazverstka (the forced withdrawal of food from Russian peasants)).
However, it is possible to move to a more deep level of understanding.
Lenin's biographies speak of his descent from the Swedes and from the steppe peoples (who lived near the Volga or beyond the Volga).
Here we recall the "peasant tsar" "Peter III" - the "rebel" Yemelyan Pugachev.
The logical scheme is simple - to remove (to delete) the Romanovs, and to take their place (under the slogan of protecting the peasants, the common people).
Yemelyan Pugachev has failed. The same failure awaited Lenin if he had not relied on such people as Krupskaya, Dzerzhinsky, Bonch-Bruevich, Frunze, and other people with an East-Republican cultural background.
Thanks to them, a consistency, an organization, a responsibility, and the European culture appeared in various areas of management.
At the initial stage, the East-Republicans were motivated by personal knowledge about the partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the consequences of this partition, by the desire to restore the country that disappeared from the political map.
The role of the East-Republicans and their historical fate is an interesting subject, but this topic does not fit into this essay.
As for Lenin's origin from the Swedes, such references are extremely concise.
My personal feeling is that the "Swedish origin" - if being investigated in detail - will lead to the Baltic barons, to the Teutonic and Livonian orders, to their activities in the Baltic seaside.
This view of the situation partly explains Lenin's proximity to the East-Republicans - for some time the Baltic seaside was the part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. After the partition of 1795, part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth became part of Prussia (Prussia was the Baltic state, partly: Konigsberg-Kaliningrad).
Perhaps the algorithms of the Bolshevik government headed by Lenin and the algorithms of the Baltic barons have something in common. Of course, it is necessary to take into account cultural interaction and mixing of the "Baltic barons" with the "peasant tsar" "Peter III" (Yemelyan Pugachev - who relied on certain strata of the Volga region population).
Naturally, a huge state functioning as a kind of the super-estate - with a super-landowner at the head (above) and a super-peasant community (below) - had no prospects in the twentieth century, the century of rapidly developing industry and science.
New tasks were set for the (simple-minded, naive) East-Republicans. A new, Stalinist era has begun.
There were huge prospects that barely show (barely visible) on the modern historical science surface: Stalin - Dzerzhinsky -Roerich - USA. These prospects, for example, are illustrated by the peaceful liberation of part of Siberia and of the Far East from Japanese occupation (under pressure from the United States and allies)...
These prospects were apparently canceled (they disappeared) after Dzerzhinsky's death (after his speech at a major party event, - a glass of water was usually placed on the podium in front of the speaker so that he could moisten his throat, which was dry from long speeches). It seems that Dzerzhinsky died of a heart attack.
After the Kronstadt rebellion, the super-landowner gradually disappeared from the historical scene.
But the centuries-old psychology, the social and psychological algorithms formed over many centuries (Lenin intuitively felt them very well), - they remained.
Stalin, who built a state with European features - he accepted the constitution with many European rights, and he used the East-Republicans - at the same time, he considered it advisable to use and to develop the ideological legend of Lenin (much elements of this legend was deeply rooted into the social psychology of huge masses of the population and was useful for ensuring peace of mind in a huge state).
At some point, for people who bought chewing gum and jeans from foreign tourists, who bought video recorders in thrift stores, who watched film about Emmanuelle (1974) - for these people, the Lenin's personality, and the super-landowner with super-serfs, and the Prodrazverstka, and food rations, - all this and much more seemed strange and amazing.
The modern historical science follows (after) the Karamzin's "History". Both of them create a misconception about many historical processes. One of the scientific and historical dominants is the concealment or distortion of the role of the East-Republicans - natives of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and of associated states, Moldova, for example, as well as the role of other historical actors - in the history of Russia. That's why I had to write this essay: to make the strange and the incomprehensible - understandable.
