personalities have always pseudonyms.It is very convenient, especially for the creative mind: poets, painters chose a name that has a special significance, saying something.Sometimes the choice of pseudonym associated with political activities and helps in hiding for a long time.Very often these are used by famous people, like Lenin, Stalin.Many people are wondering why Lenin - Lenin?
leader of the proletariat
Ulyanov Lenin for his political life has used many aliases.The future leader of the Russian proletariat waged a violent political activities and was in the Social Democratic Party.Of course, he often had to hide, to change the name.One of his nicknames was the Lenin.This name has remained with him until his death.Versions of why Lenin took the pseudonym Lenin, few, and they all seem plausible.
Lena River
Some historians say that the name of Vladimir Ilyich took on the name of the Lena River.Legend says that in 1912 on the river shot the workers who went on strike.This event shocked Lenin, in memory of the dead, he decided to take him this nickname.But the fact that he signed the same name began much earlier - in 1901.Then there was another reason or occasion to take the name of Lenin (a pseudonym).Why can not it be an imitation?
Plekhanov - Volgin
is impossible not to take into account the fact that supporters of the fight communicate with each other, often imitated each other.So, knowing that Plekhanov took for himself the pseudonym Volgin Vladimir Ilyich decided to use such a name - also from the river.And it was in 1901.
In the same period, public events attended and a famous agronomist SN Lenin.The future leader of the proletariat often quoted of a scientist and could well use his name.So this is why Lenin - Lenin.But there is no - there is another, more plausible version.
friendly help
turns out, there was another episode in the life of Lenin, who introduced him to that name.Previously, all of the above events, in 1900, Vladimir Ilyich had to urgently leave the territory of the Russian Empire.But this required a passport.Because of his political activities, Lenin was sure that he would not go abroad.I had to look for another opportunity to obtain a passport.And at this time might encounter Krupskaya with its good school friend, who also sympathized with the democratic movement socialists.It was this girlfriend and stole a passport from his father - Lenin Zhukovsky - and gave him a future leader of the proletariat.It was enough to forge only the year of birth, and Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was Nikolai.Since then, the leader of that name and sign.From the history it becomes clear why Lenin - Lenin.
Ally leader of the proletariat
History revolution engendered his heroes, leaders, politicians.The current generation gets the other entity, other than education in the USSR.Many do not know the details of the life of Lenin and his associates.Therefore I ask: why Lenin - Lenin and Stalin - Stalin?
At the end of XIX century lived and worked wonderful translator ES Stalin.He worked as a journalist, he was the publisher - editor.He owns the best translation of Shota Rustaveli - "The Knight in the Panther's Skin".During this period, J. Dzhugashvili also wrote poetry and even print.Of course, he had heard about Stalin, I read his translations.From his youth he loved the newspaper "Caucasus".And "The Knight in the Panther's Skin" is one of the most beloved works of Stalin.
Events History
So, reading the Georgian literary journals and newspapers, familiarity with the works of E. Stalin led to what J. Dzhugashvili had great respect for this man.He was also an excellent memory: after many years as a collaborator of Lenin, Stalin took the name of Stalin, reducing it.That is why Lenin - Lenin and Stalin - Stalin.These aliases became known around the world.
course aliases politicians firmly connected with the historical events of that period, when the state was experiencing a fracture.But often take the name of the person concerned so that many remember him only by name and does not know the real name.But it is necessary to study the history, that there are no such questions as this: why Lenin - Lenin?
not all share the beliefs of the revolutionaries, social democrats and similar figures of the last century.But the events have already happened, they should remember to study and know the leaders of the movement, including their names and aliases.
