Talk:Stepan Petrichenko

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"1. Their resolution was aimed at the very heart of the Bolsheviks, mainly its politics, which many consider to be a fatal blow to Lenin."

Given that Lenin won, the Soviet Union brushed it off, clearly the only people who would consider it a "fatal blow to Lenin" would be those who are totally unaware of 20th century history. NoJoyInMudville 05:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, considering Lenin croaked within a year of the rebellion, and seeing how mental and emotional strain were considered crucial factors in his series of strokes, some might take the view that Kronstadt delivered a blow that had its effect a while later. Of course, we'd have to research lenin's health in the time after Kronstadt to see if there's any merit in the idea. So, while the idea is somewhat bizarre, it's not, as you suggest, completely ignorant. In any case, though, even if the bizarre idea has merit, it doesn't belong in this article.
