The gulag was the system of prison camps in the Soviet Union. It is most commonly identified with Josef Stalin, who was responsible for the greatest number of prisoners sent there; however, the Soviet gulag system actually originated in the 1920's, during the reign of Vladimir Lenin.
Why was Vladimir Lenin so significant?
Among all the leaders in the 20th century, Lenin is arguably the most significant person in the world of Russian politics. Exiled by the Russian government for his reformation and radical views, Lenin spent his time thinking and forming up his own government under heavy influence of Marx. Derived from "The Communist Manifesto", Lenin created a system of government that would later impact the whole world. Lenin had created his own political party called the Bolsheviks in 1903. While Lenin was in his own world, thinking about the future Russia, the whole Europe as well as Russia were in the chaos of WWI (from 1914 to 1918). Russia, having lost almost 4 million men to the war, is on the brink of national chaos. Its people were demanding cessation of the war, land reform and an end to shortages of food and goods. The Tsar of Russia, Nicholas Romanov II is overthrown in March 1917 while Lenin was in Switzerland. Germany, taking this as an advantage, sends the exiled Lenin to Russia and encourages him to pursue his ultimate dream of a communist revolution. Why did Germans do it? Because Lenin was against the WW I, and if by any chance Lenin seized power, then Russia will no longer be Germany's eastern enemy. Lenin returns to Russia in April 1917 and immediately begins agitating against the new Russian Provisional Government. In the October Revolution, Lenin and the Bolsheviks seize control of the government from the Provisional Government and take over Russia. He now creates a communist country that is called the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic later to be named the U.S.S.R. (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) and immediately changes the whole Russia upside down. Many Russian people and political parties who had tolerated the Bolshevik takeover now became thoroughly disenchanted by Lenin's ruthless suppression of dissent from his dictates. This leads to the Russian Civil War. Leon Trotsky now in command of the Red Army, defeats the opposing forces known as the White Army and White Russians. Lenin's takeover is now complete.There were some good effects such as stability but ruthless killing and dictatorship was imminent. Lenin later dies in 1924 after suffering several strokes.
