Claim: Claims that Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin once said, "If we can effectively kill the national pride and patriotism of just one generation, we will have won that country." (Viral Quote, 2019-06-23)
Evidence (2024-01-22): Some, even on the left, claim that fighting for national liberation is a diversion from "real" class struggle. That was not the position that Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin took. [...] Lenin looked at how to use the fight for national liberation to destroy empire entirely. He was for the right of oppressed nations to self-determination. [...] Lenin saw this in the Irish uprising of 1916 against brutal British repression. He followed that in oppressor countries, the emphasis should be on weakening the home imperialist state by backing the national liberation moment.

Evidence (2022-02-21): Lenin’s Two Pronged Approach to the National Question Lenin’s stance on the national question has often been described as ‘two-pronged.’ The seeming ambiguity of his position arguably derives from his unique dialectical orientation that we have been working out up to this point. Lenin writes: [...] As we noted above, Lenin’s ‘two-pronged’ approach to the question nationalism presages the more updated perspective of the 3rd International vis-à-vis the still ongoing question of colonialism and colonial imperialism. The case of Burkina Faso and its revolution led by Thomas Sankara are exemplary in this regard and quite clearly confirms the viability of Lenin’s position in the debate on national self-determination and, moreover, highlights the viability of a neo-Leninist revival in the consideration of contemporary questions of colonialism and imperialism. In less than a year, Sankara’s regime successfully began to liberate Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta)—a transitional zone of passage between more populated and commercially important epicenters of French West Africa with little to no cultural or ethnic homogeneity—from the yoke of neo-colonial domination and a particularly repressive comprador bourgeoisie.

Evidence (2024-05-03): Vladimir Lenin was a Russian communist revolutionary and head of the Bolshevik Party who rose to prominence during the Russian Revolution of 1917, one of the most explosive political events of the 20th century. The bloody upheaval marked the end of the oppressive Romanov dynasty and centuries of imperial rule in Russia. The Bolsheviks would later become the Communist Party, making Lenin leader of the Soviet Union, the world’s first communist state. Who Was Vladimir Lenin? Vladimir Lenin was born Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov in 1870 into a middle-class family in Ulyanovsk, Russia. The son of Ilya Ulyanov and Maria Alexandrovna Ulyanova, he was the third of six siblings in an educated family and would go on to become first in his class in high school.

Evidence (2017-05-25): The Legacy of Vladimir Lenin [...] You need an understanding of politics. Lenin, his generation, and Marx: these were political people. They understood that without politics, nothing could move forward. Lenin was of course in this sense a genius, as even his enemies acknowledged. Absolutely crystal clear, not painting defeats as victories, but saying that victories were possible if we did A, B, and C.

Evidence (2019-07-15): The Daily Caller News Foundation found no evidence that Lenin ever said or wrote this quote. [...] An internet search revealed that the quote has been attributed to several Soviet-era figures, including Lenin, dictator Joseph Stalin and Stalin’s secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria. However, a search of the Marxist Internet Archive, an online database of the writings of various influential Marxists, turned up no instances where this statement appears. (RELATED: Did Vladimir Lenin Say ‘Socialized Medicine Is The Keystone To The Arch Of A Socialist State’?) [...] Multiple Lenin experts also dismissed the notion that he ever said the quote. "The content of the quote goes completely against Lenin’s ideas," Christopher Read, a professor at the University of Warwick and author of "Lenin: A Revolutionary Life," told TheDCNF.

Evidence (2016-11-30): Sadly, this observation is applicable to many Russian "Westernizers" in recent periods of Russian history - including our own. These are people who, albeit from the very noblest motives, want to transplant everything they find alluring in the West - everyday life, culture, technology, and the way individuals and social institutions interact - onto Russian soil as quickly and as unreflectingly as possible.

Evidence (2017-11-07): Your book also suggests that for Lenin, the Russian Revolution was part of a vendetta. He wanted to avenge the death of his older brother, who was executed at the age of 21 for plotting to kill the czar. How much of this was personal to Lenin rather than ideological? [...] As you describe in the book, Lenin came to power by colluding with a hostile foreign power — namely, Germany during World War I — while at the same time making appeals to Russian patriotism and national pride. How did he reconcile these two?

Evidence (2005-03-11): Is a sense of national pride alien to us, Great-Russian class-conscious proletarians? Certainly not! We love our language and our country, and we are doing our very utmost to raise her toiling masses (i.e., nine-tenths of her population) to the level of a democratic and socialist consciousness. To us it is most painful to see and feel the outrages, the oppression and the humiliation our fair country suffers at the hands of the tsar’s butchers, the nobles and the capitalists. We take pride in the resistance to these outrages put up from our midst, from the Great Russians; in that midst having produced Radishchev,[3] the Decembrists[4] and the revolutionary commoners of the seventies[5]; in the Great-Russian working class having created, in 1905, a mighty revolutionary party of the masses; and in the Great-Russian peasantry having begun to turn towards democracy and set about overthrowing the clergy and the landed proprietors.
