Udarnik History Info:

An “Udarnik” is a Soviet word for an over-productive worker. Workers that went over and beyond what was required including working days at a time with very little time off for rest or family. The udarnik movement was launched and supported by the government to intensify the industrial development of the country. Often reaching astounding heights on the order of hundreds of percent of the original quota.

The movement appeared in the 1920’s.  The Bolshevik country was young, and had just survived a revolution and a civil war. Industry and agriculture were in ruins, and to restore them as fast as possible, the government, among other things, launched a propaganda campaign. Posters, newspapers, and radio programs described everyday labor as a battle for a better life and for a socialist future. To win this battle one had to work harder and smarter than, for example, his colleagues – and so workers, brigades and whole plants everywhere began to join “socialist competitions”. The Soviet Union was a state with a planned economy, so workers aimed to exceed the quotas. Even the Siberian concentration camps participated – udarniks in forced labor received their small piece of fame and respect too.

Propaganda, of course, was not enough. To motivate people, government adopted something which it had thrown away several years before for being anti-socialistic and exploitative: payment by results. Inflation turned money into useless colored paper, so first time udarniks got paid in special food talons.

Plant administrations often chose “udarniks to be” by its own will and gave these workers best tools and the best work conditions. They overproduced the quotas, and received privileges, while the others did not even have opportunity to show themselves.

Inspired by Stakhanov’s example, thousands of factory workers, doctors, peasants, even policemen tried to exceed their quotas. Some of them went as far as to hospitals with extreme fatigue, on the job injuries which resulted in death, but some made it into the history books.

Public opinion about udarniks was ambiguous. People were inspired by all the records they read and heard about, and the official title “Udarnik of Communist Labor” was considered a great honor. On the other hand, quotas grew record by record, and salaries just the opposite, became smaller and smaller.

By the 1980’s, the movement ran out of steam, though formally it had been alive until the collapse of Soviet Union. Nowadays, both the term and the idea are still in use in China and North Korea.

Lenin History:

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (Russian: Владимир Ильич Ленин, IPA: [vlɐˈdʲimʲɪr ɪlʲˈjit͡ɕ ˈlʲenʲɪn] ( listen); born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Russian: Владимир Ильич Ульянов; 22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924) was a Russian communist revolutionary, politician and political theorist. He served as the leader of the Russian SFSR from 1917, and then concurrently as Premier of the Soviet Union from 1922, until his death. Politically a Marxist, his theoretical contributions to Marxist thought are known as Leninism, which coupled with Marxian economic theory have collectively come to be known as Marxism–Leninism.

As the leader of the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, he took a senior role in orchestrating the October Revolution in 1917, which led to the overthrow of the Russian Provisional Government and the establishment of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic, the world's first constitutionally socialist state. Immediately afterwards, the new government under Lenin's leadership proceeded to implement socialist reforms, including the transfer of estates and crown lands to workers' soviets. Faced with the threat of German invasion, he argued that Russia should immediately sign a peace treaty—which led to Russia's exit from the First World War. In 1921 Lenin proposed the New Economic Policy, a system of state capitalism that started the process of industrialisation and recovery from the Russian Civil War. In 1922, the Russian SFSR joined former territories of the Russian Empire in becoming the Soviet Union, with Lenin elected as its leader.

After his death, Marxism–Leninism developed into a variety of schools of thought, namely Stalinism, Trotskyism and Maoism. Lenin remains a controversial and highly divisive world figure. Detractors label him a dictator whose administration oversaw multiple human rights abuses, while some people on the left promote him as a champion of the working class. Lenin had a significant influence on the international Communist movement and was one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.
