Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Nikolai Chernyevksy and Georgii Plekhanov also greatly influenced Lenin's revolutionary beliefs. Chernyevsky wrote the revolutionary novel, "What Is To Be Done" in 1862. Lenin was so influenced by this novel that he gave his own revolutionary pamphlet the same name. He even styled himself along the lines of the hero of the book, a man named Rakhmetev. One author of Russian history stated that Lenin read this novel five times in one summer. Plekhanov wrote a book called "On the Question of Developing a Monistic View of History" in 1895. This is the book that brought Marxism to Russia. For this reason, Plekhanov is often referred to as the founder of Russian Marxism.
How did nicholas ii vladimir Lenin karl marx and leon trotsky feel about the russian revolution of 1917?
There were two. However, they could be combined into one. Nicholas II would not have liked it, seeing as he and his family lost power. Marx was dead for about twenty years before the revolution, but as the man who thought up the ideas of communism, it was his proletariat revolution. Lenin and Trotsky liked it very much, as it put them in power.
