Under Lenin’s leadership, the Russian working class and the laboring people overthrew the Tsarist regime and established the world’s first socialist state, a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
The October Revolution became not only a victory for the Russian people but also a powerful symbol of hope, unity and the human quest for change.
In Vietnam, the triumph of the October Revolution is viewed as a historic source of inspiration for the country’s struggle for national independence and its socialist orientation.
Marxism - Leninism, together with Ho Chi Minh’s Thought, continues to serve as the ideological foundation and guiding compass for Vietnam’s development, leading the nation toward prosperity, modernization and social progress.
