The predecessor of the Soviet Union, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (Soviet Russia), was born on November 7, 1917 after experiencing the victory of the " February Revolution " and " October Revolution ". It was the first socialist state power established in the world. However, the Soviet regime was not peaceful after its establishment. Instead, it suffered a comprehensive counterattack by the White Army and a crazy strangulation by the Allied Powers.
On December 3, 1917, the new Soviet regime held unilateral negotiations with the Allied Powers, led by Germany, and signed the "Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty" on March 3, 1918, withdrawing from the First World War. However, this caused dissatisfaction with the Allied Powers. On November 11, 1918, Germany signed a surrender agreement, which marked the end of World War I. Britain, France, the United States, Japan, Poland, and other countries were dissatisfied with Soviet Russia's unilateral withdrawal from the war with Germany and the debt problems of Tsarist Russia, so they sent troops to intervene in the internal affairs of Soviet Russia and suppress the Soviet revolution.
At this time, the White Army, composed of royalists, republicans, left-wingers, as well as rich peasants, landlords and bourgeoisie who opposed the Soviet regime, also launched a crazy counterattack against the Soviet regime. At this critical moment, unprecedented unity emerged within the Soviet Bolshevik Party. The Mensheviks and the district alliance faction that originally held different political opinions also temporarily put aside their prejudices and invariably chose to unite around the Bolsheviks under the leadership of Lenin. to deal with foreign enemies and the internal White Army. At the same time, the Bolsheviks completed the reorganization of the Soviet Red Army and decentralized the political commissars to the grassroots front-line troops, which caused earth-shaking changes in the combat effectiveness of the Red Army. It was similar to the great man who built the party branch on the company.
On the contrary, the White Army, composed of different factions, fought independently and fought for power and profit, resulting in a loss of combat effectiveness and being defeated by the Red Army. I believe many of you have read the story of Paul Korchagin when you were a child. For such an army with faith and the White Army who fought only for their own interests, the outcome is self-evident. In the end, the Soviet regime crushed the armed intervention intentions of Britain, France, the United States, Japan, Poland and other countries, and at the same time eliminated the White Army. However, the internal dangers of the Soviet regime were not eliminated, and they also laid the foundation for the subsequent disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Because at this time, the Bolsheviks were joined by the Mensheviks and the District Alliance faction, as well as many speculators with impure ideals and beliefs, which led to the fact that some people within the Bolsheviks were not at all for the future of Soviet Russia. They only joined to seek their own power and interests. This problem was not resolved until Lenin's death, and even ran through the entire Soviet history . Perhaps this problem cannot be solved at all. Even if these opportunists did not join in the early days of the Bolsheviks, as time goes by, many such people will surely join, or many people will degenerate into such people. This is a dead end. After all, belief is too idealistic, and the heart is fickle. The disintegration of the Soviet Union was due to the fickleness of the heart, which led to internal corruption, and the people's moral support was lost.
