History was created when the Soviet Union was born through revolution of 1917, removing the hated czar and starting the rule of the people. The Communist USSR within a short time advanced in all spheres including space travel. The mighty military of fascist Hitler met its Waterloo in Russia. The Red army of the Soviet Union reached Berlin, the capital of Hitler and raised the Red flag on the German Reichstag (Parliament on 1st May 1945 heralding the end of the II World War. The USSR helped many colonial countries including India in getting independence.
Comrade V.I.Lenin was the leader and architect of the great Russian Revolution. From 1917 to 1924 till his death he led the government and defended it from the attack of the combined imperialist forces. He was a revolutionary in all senses.
I pay respectful homage to Comrade Lenin! Red Salute to Comrade Lenin!

A FRAGMENT OF A VOICE
ABOUT LENIN
Your voice like a lightning bolt
shocked me in my youth,
Books straddled upon my desk in that cloistered
dormitory room,
I read your works, your speeches, your declarations;
the sun had broken through,
I saw the world again more than three times,
Your voice in the Russian first person.
I stood up and leaned against the doorway
in disbelief about how the ages clamor for change,
How people die in their protests,
How nation’s leaders lie,
As they did yesterday in a American Congress hall;
arrogance and conceit in both parties,
The ringleader portraying himself as Caesar,
His silver tongue to be cut by history and the wind,
And so we listen amid the dullness
of war stalking our sickness.
How history revenges itself upon the terror
we create in darken doorways;
the headlines censor us and the legend
of the Soviet Ninth Congress, When he lived and we actually listened.
