The Russian October Revolution was a revolution led by the "impoverished masses" with the goal of self-liberation and the construction of a brighter future. Its victory and significance had a profound impact on the world and the Vietnamese Revolution.

On the night of November 7, 1917 (October 25 under the old Russian calendar), the insurgent forces stormed the Winter Palace in Petrograd, marking the beginning of the Russian Revolution.

Ten days that shook the world

"Ten Days That Shook the World", written by American journalist John Reed in 1919, is a firsthand account of the Russian Revolution. It provides a comprehensive and authentic portrayal of the event, helping subsequent generations understand one of the most significant revolutions in human history.

The Russian Revolution was a revolution of the masses. Russia's workers, peasants, and laborers were liberated. The content of the revolutionary ideals, the methods of conducting the revolution and its victory, and the self-defense power of the masses all reflect the will of the vast majority of the Russian people at that time.

The successful Russian Revolution of 1917 marked the birth of a government of the working people. This government strongly affirmed the goal of building a future society that is just, prosperous, and civilized, bringing happiness to all working people.

The Russian Revolution of 1917 was a pivotal historical event that triggered profound geopolitical changes for decades to come. By emancipating the working class and liberating the oppressed and exploited, the revolution served as a powerful inspiration for the labor movements across Europe.

In the immediate aftermath of the Russian Revolution, a wave of labor unrest swept across capitalist nations between 1918 and 1923. The "impoverished masses" in Russia also contributed to the robust development of the Soviet Union in subsequent decades. They played a crucial role in saving humanity from the threat of fascism and were instrumental in ending the devastating Second World War. The achievements and contributions of the Soviet people to the world in the decades following the Revolution are immense and undeniable.

The Russian Revolution's focus on national liberation and human emancipation inspired and encouraged the liberation struggles of colonized peoples worldwide. In the 20th century, anti-colonial movements became a widespread phenomenon.

Shaping revolutionary path

The impacts of the 1917 Russian Revolution and V.I. Lenin's theories on national and colonial questions were instrumental in shaping the revolutionary path of Nguyen Ai Quoc and the Communist Party of Vietnam, directly leading to the victory of the August Revolution in 1945.

Nguyen Ai Quoc was the first to argue that the national liberation struggles in colonies were not entirely dependent on revolutions in the "metropoles." He posited that colonized peoples could rise up and liberate themselves, and that revolution could be victorious in a single colony. This groundbreaking viewpoint was remarkably similar to Lenin's theory about the victory of revolution in the "weakest link" of the capitalist chain.

Nguyen Ai Quoc worked tirelessly to prepare for the establishment of a genuine communist party to lead the Vietnamese people in their struggle for national liberation. The first political platform of the Communist Party of Vietnam, drafted by him, was concise yet comprehensive, outlining the fundamental principles and core objectives of the Vietnamese revolution. This document also marked the Party's declaration of its chosen path of development from its inception.

Ideals of the 1917 Russian Revolution

The ideals and key objectives of the 1917 Russian Revolution were deeply understood and applied by President Ho Chi Minh and the Communist Party of Vietnam in leading the Vietnamese people in their struggle for national independence, ushering in a new era for the country - an era of national independence and socialism.

The August Revolution of 1945 in Vietnam marked the victorious beginning of the national liberation movement and the collapse of the colonial system worldwide. The ideals of the August Revolution have been affirmed in Vietnam for the past 79 years and continue to be realized in a new context. Both revolutions are not only considered milestones in the history of the two nations but also mark major turning points in world history in the 20th century.

The ideals of the 1917 Russian Revolution continue to attract the "impoverished masses." Essentially, it was a struggle for a future of fairness and equality in international relations, for the establishment of a better world order, and for the future development of all humankind and individuals, regardless of race, religion, or political system.
