How did the French and American revolution impact the Russian revolution?
1 Answer
The French Revolutiion had a impact whereas the American Revolutin had none
Explanation:
The Bolsheviks were inspired by the French Revolution, the Marseillaise was the first song they took as an anthem before the Internationale. The Cossacks were considered as the equivalent of the Vendeans during the French Revolution and thus Lenin decided to slaughter them. The Russian Revolution was based on massive repression, massive murder and destruction of traditions and of the past. Thus Bolsheviks were the perfect of the French Revolution. Just like the French revolutionaries they detested the Christian identity of their country.
The American Revolution had principles which were the very opposite of these. For instance, freedom of speech prevailed and no massive repression occurred.
