Members and sympathizers of the Party of Communists of Moldova (PCRM) on April 22 laid flowers at the monument to the former Bolshevik leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin in Chisinau in connection with the 146th anniversary of his birth. Delivering a speech, the party’s leader Vladimir Voronin said that Lenin’s values continue to be topical all over the world, IPN reports.
The Communists’ leader stated that Vladimir Ilyich Lenin introduced the theory of social equity, which offers the humans the right to a better life, while the state does not rob them and does not leave them alone face to face with difficulties. As to the situation in the Republic of Moldova, Vladimir Voronin said that what is going on now is tragic as the people cannot count on scientific works or innovative ideas, which would convince them that the current situation is better than what was there in the Soviet Union.
Communist MP Elena Bodnarenco said that Vladimir Ilich Lenin was a personality whom the people continue to respect and love, but there are also persons who fear him. “Why do some people fear him so much today, 92 years of his death, that they demolish his monuments and try to remove what is related to Lenin, including from the people’s memory? Maybe because what he did was so right, necessary and important for mankind that they do not want this to remain in memory,” she stated.
Born on April 22, 1870, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was a Russian revolutionary who led the Bolshevik Party. He was the first Prime Minister of the Soviet Union and the founder of the ideology known as Leninism.
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, alias Lenin, was a Russian communist revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as head of government of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924.
