Why were the Russian people supporting the new ideas of Lenin?

History
1 answer:
Butoxors [25]3 years ago
4 0
There are two main reasons why the Russian people supported Lenin and his ideas in the 1910s:

1. Serfdom
2.Russian failures in the First World War up to that point

Throughout the centuries during which Russia had been a country prior to the Revolution of 1917, Russia prescribed to a system of governance known as Feudalism. This meant that the vast majority of the Russian population was impoverished, and were virtually enslaved by the immensely wealthy Aristocrats. This state of servitude of the Russian poor was known as Serfdom.
  This massive inequality between the poor members of Russian society and the aristocracy had been a source of growing discontent for the Russian lower class. Despite attempts to abolish the system by Enlightened Despots like Catherine the Great as well as it's technical legal abolishment by Czar Alexander II, the system still remained very much a reality of the average member of Russian society.
  The communists (and the social democrats before them) appealed to the Serfs, as their plan of wealth redistribution benefited the serfs greatly, and the serfs believed that it would lift them out of their impoverished state.

Up until 1917, Russia had faced defeat after crushing defeat against the forces of the Central Powers. The losses incurred by the Russian Army were astronomically high, and the Russian lower class was very upset at their government for forcing them into a war that they saw no reason to fight.
  Lenin promised to bring peace to Russia by negotiating for an armistice with the Central Powers, a prospect that appealed greatly to the war weary Russian lower class.

Discuss the two main ideas—people are made right with God by faith alone, and selling indulgences is an abuse of church power.
zheka24 [161]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You are asking to discuss the two statements.

1.- People are made right with God by faith alone.

This idea is contained in Romans 3:28.

The idea that is conveyed through Romans 3:28 is that one thing is the worship and obedience of God, and another thing is teh obedience of the law. One is divine, It is God's will. The other is from the Earth, the law that exists in every society.

So the focus of humans must be on God's will and do as his will. The law of men is important but it is not in the same category of divine law.

2.- Selling indulgences is an abuse of church power.

This is one of the most important critics Protestants made against the Catholic church.

Indeed it was one of the main claims Martin Luther refer to when he wrote his essay "95 Thesis," in which he accuses the pope of selling indulgences as one of the worst things of the Catholic church. Martin Luther was a German monk that initiated the Protestant movement that generated the schism in the Christian Church.

Does vice presidents matter? why or why not<br><br> plss hurry
OLEGan [10]
On Jan. 20, Kamala Harris will become vice president of the United States – the first woman, the first person of South Asian descent, and the first African American to do so. Harris will also become the first vice president to have graduated from a historically black college or university.

Each of these achievements is significant in its own right. However, the vice presidency itself has traditionally been a relatively insignificant position, though the office has become more influential in recent years.
