From the October Revolution in Russia to the Nghe Tinh Soviet

Overcoming the geographical distance, the victory of the Russian October Revolution in 1917 and the birth of the world's first proletarian state had a great influence on the Vietnamese revolution. Through the activities of Nguyen Ai Quoc and the Thanh Nien organization, many progressive books and newspapers about the Russian October Revolution were secretly sent back to the country, strongly influencing the awareness and ideology of Vietnamese patriots.

The young people of Nghe An overcame the limitations of class and time, quickly found their way abroad, learned the revolutionary path of Soviet Russia, and strongly promoted the process of spreading Marxism-Leninism: "To save the country and liberate the nation, there is no other way than the path of proletarian revolution".

The revolutionary spirit rose, the Nghe Tinh Soviet movement (1930-1931) rose as a matter of course. The core of the fighting formation was the revolutionary-enlightened, organized mass army, carrying sticks, flags, banners, etc., directly attacking political bases, overthrowing the colonial and feudal governments.

The government established in Nghe Tinh was the first Soviet government formed in Southeast Asia, a government of the people, by the people and for the people, responding to the burning desire for independence and freedom of the people who had lost their country and were enslaved. Since then, the immortal spirit of the Nghe Tinh Soviet has encouraged and accompanied the Vietnamese people to overcome countless challenges to achieve great victories such as: the August Revolution in 1945, the Dien Bien Phu victory in 1954, the Great Spring Victory in 1975 and many other glorious victories in the cause of national liberation.

After the October Revolution, the Soviet Union became the mainstay of the world revolutionary movement, including Vietnam. The contributions of the fraternal Soviet Union not only helped our people win the resistance wars but also had extremely important significance in the cause of building socialism, restoring and developing the economy and society after the war.Under the roof of the Soviet Socialist Republic, thousands of cadres, soldiers and workers of Nghe An were educated, trained and matured. Many of them have held important positions in the fields of politics, economics, science - technology, culture, diplomacy, military, security... contributing to the development of their homeland and country, further fostering the friendship between Vietnam and Russia.
