I didn't know it was from Putin and need the context. Was Putin referring to
the Russian annexation of the eastern Ukrainian provinces. I cannot tell. But
Putin has been disputing Lenin for some time now.
Q: where did putin dispute Vladimir Lenin's thesis on The Right of Nations to
Self Determination?
chatGPT:
Vladimir Putin has publicly disputed Vladimir Lenin’s thesis on “The Right of
Nations to Self-Determination” in several key instances:
1. February 21, 2022 – Address Concerning the Events in Ukraine: In this
speech, Putin criticized Lenin’s policies, stating that modern Ukraine was
created by Bolshevik, Communist Russia, and that Lenin’s ideas on a
confederative state and the right of nations to self-determination were akin to
a “time bomb” that eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
2. July 12, 2021 – Article “On the Historical Unity of Russians and
Ukrainians”: Putin authored an essay where he argued that Russians and
Ukrainians are “one people” and criticized Lenin’s approach to national
self-determination, suggesting it planted the seeds for separatism and the
eventual dissolution of the USSR.
These instances reflect Putin’s perspective that Lenin’s policies on national
self-determination were detrimental to the territorial integrity and unity of
Russia.
