Chapter 314: The Kremlin's Loser
The Kremlin is located in the center of Moscow, on the Borowitz Hills at the confluence of the Negrin and Moskva rivers.
It is a complex of buildings consisting of many churches, palaces, bell towers, gardens and multi-storey towers.
On March 28, 1918, the Bolshevik government headed by Lenin moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow by special train, a year after taking power in Russia.
Since then, the Kremlin has become the center of political power in the Soviet Union.
Building 1 of the Kremlin is called the Presidential Building, and Lenin was the first national leader to move there.
Lenin's office was a room of 50 square meters on the 3rd floor of Building No. 1.
After Lenin's death, Stalin moved into Building No. 1.
He chose Office 1, located on the 2nd floor of Building 1, which is bright and spacious, with 150 square meters.
Lin Zixuan received an invitation not from Stalin, but from the Office for the Study of Marxist Theory in the Soviet Union.
This reassured him a lot, if it was really Stalin's invitation, he would have to wonder if something had happened, but he had mailed three copies of "The Man in the High Castle" to the Soviet Union, and he had a ghost in his heart.
Ever since the information about the "primary stage of socialism" was submitted, it attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union was the first socialist country in the world, and how to define socialism and how to develop socialism was a problem that the Soviet Union urgently needed to solve in theory.
In the Soviet Union, there was no further debate in theoretical circles.
To this end, Soviet intelligence conducted an investigation into Lin Zixuan's background.
They found that Lin Zixuan himself was a capitalist, with a Western educational background, and had a certain influence in the cultural circles of Britain and the United States. Leaning towards the bourgeois reformists.
They also tracked down Lin Zixuan's whereabouts in Moscow, including a speech at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow and the "study hard." Everyday upward".
No suspicious anything was found, and it can be confirmed that Lin Zixuan is not a spy in the Western world.
This is the first investigation file of Lin Zixuan in the Soviet Union.
After confirming that Lin Zixuan was not dangerous. They decided to bring Lin Zixuan to talk to see if the "initial stage of socialism" thesis was the result of the Chinese's whimsical idea or deliberate consideration.
The revision of Marxism is not a trivial matter, and not everyone can put forward it.
In 1924, Stalin put forward the famous "Theory of Socialism in One Country".
Classical Marxism believes that the socialist revolution can start in one country, take place in each country, and be completed on a world scale, but it does not believe that the socialist revolution can end because it is built in one country.
As a result, the Russian and international left opposition, led by Trotsky, opposed Stalin's revision of Marxism.
This is a political struggle to the death, can you just talk about it?
Moreover, if the Soviet Union adopted Lin Zixuan's statement, it always felt a little strange. After all, Lin Zixuan is not a Marxist, but he has supplemented Marxist theory.
Will Lin Zixuan's name be written into the Soviet Union's theoretical documents in the future?
According to the agreement, Lin Zixuan, accompanied by an interpreter, walked into the Kremlin and was led by the guards to an office.
Several Soviet Marxist theorists met with Lin Zixuan, and the two sides talked.
The Soviets were interested in what Lin Zixuan thought, and Lin Zixuan had thought about how to answer this question before he came.
"I had a longing for the revolution in the Soviet Union, so I made this trip to the Soviet Union, but when I came to the Soviet Union, I found that the poverty situation in the Soviet Union was serious. I don't think socialism should be like this. ”
"I think that if you want to prove the superiority of socialism, you need to improve the people's living standards and focus on economic construction."
"The division of the stages of socialism is determined by national conditions, and that's what I said. It's up to you to decide whether to adopt it or not. ”
After some inquiry, these Soviet theoreticians learned that Lin Zixuan was indeed a whim, not a profound study of Marxism.
In fact. Lin Zixuan studied politics in later generations and had some understanding of Marxism. But there are some topics that cannot be said.
At this time, a Soviet man walked in from outside. Everyone else stood up and saluted, shouting slogans.
Lin Zixuan also stood up, and the interpreter next to him told him that the person who came was Comrade Lev Trotsky, one of the supreme leaders of the Soviet Union.
In the past two days, Lin Zixuan had a general understanding of the situation in the Soviet Union.
This Comrade Trotsky was Stalin's greatest rival, the real initiator of the October Revolution, the founder of the Soviet Red Army, a charismatic leader, a figure of equal rank to Lenin.
In the Soviet Union, delegates to the congress ended their speeches with the slogan: "Long live our leaders Lenin and Trotsky!" ”
Trotsky, a revolutionary theoretician, came to find out what was going on.
He was interested in Lin Zixuan's assertion that agriculture should be developed first and then industry, and in fact he was criticizing Stalin's path to socialist industrialization in the Soviet Union.
In 1925, Stalin proposed that the Soviet Union should change from an agrarian country to an industrial country, focusing on the development of heavy industry.
He communicated with Lin Zixuan for a while, and when he found that this Chinese had different views from him, he lost interest and left in a hurry.
Trotsky believed that agriculture should be collectivized and land should be nationalized, while Lin Zixuan insisted that land should be distributed to the peasants in order to increase the enthusiasm of the peasants.
Although there was a disagreement, Lin Zixuan thought of a hypothesis because of this.
If Trotsky had defeated Stalin and become the ruler of the Soviet Union, what would have been the future of the Soviet Union?
This is a good historical fiction with an alternate theme.
Trotsky had the opportunity to become the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, but he missed it.
Before 1925, there were proposals in the Left Opposition for the armed overthrow of the Stalin clique and its confinement, but Trotsky opposed it, who at that time regarded Stalin as a comrade and wanted to keep the struggle under control.
But Stalin showed no mercy to him.
In 1928, after losing the struggle, Trotsky was exiled to Almaty and expelled from the country on February 12, 1929.
When he went abroad, he took with him 30 boxes of archives and books, which caused great trouble to Stalin, because many of them were unfavorable to Stalin.
Abroad, Trotsky did not give up the struggle.
He used a large amount of evidence to expose the falsification and falsification of history by Stalin's imperial literati.
He also wrote articles critical of Stalin's socialism and his actions, such as "The Betrayed Revolution" and "Stalin's Commentary".
On August 20, 1940, Trotsky was assassinated.
An important factor that prompted Stalin to resolve to put Trotsky to death was that Trotsky exposed a series of Stalin's mistakes and shattered the myth that Stalin was always right.
Lin Zixuan walked out of the Kremlin and looked back at the center of Soviet power.
Even if Trotsky had taken control of the Soviet Union, the country would probably have followed the same path, and the Soviet Union needed an iron-blooded and brutal ruler at this time.
Lin Zixuan is just a tourist, he has no intention of changing, and it is difficult to change the history of the Soviet Union. (To be continued.) )
