On January 21, 1926 in the Gregorian calendar, Vladimir, the founder of Soviet Russia and the first chairman of the Soviet Union, passed away due to illness. Are you still reading Lewen today?
This day was delayed by a full two years compared to history, and it also caused the historical trajectory of Soviet Russia to further deviate from its original direction. The new economic policy he implemented, the policy of introducing foreign investment and promoting the return of Russian capital, all achieved considerable results. By the end of 1925, Russia's agriculture and industry had partially recovered to pre-war levels.
It is worth mentioning that due to the large inflow of Chinese capital, Soviet Russia's light industry developed more rapidly than its heavy industry. Minerals such as coal and oil mined through exploration were continuously transported to China via the Trans-Siberian Railway.
The party and government committee members headed by Stalin once raised objections to this, believing that light industry was not the priority and that heavy industry, especially military industry, should be vigorously developed. The export of mineral resources should also be strictly restricted. But Vladimir insisted that before "achieving glory", the people's food and clothing should be considered first.
Kirov firmly supported Vladimir. Bukharin and others on his side started a dispute with Stalin's faction. The rift in the alliance between Trotsky and Stalin deepened. The recovery of the domestic economy and the improvement of people's livelihood made it impossible for him to Agree with many of Stalin's ideas.
