On November 7, 1917, under the leadership of the Russian Bolshevik Party, headed by V.I. Lenin, the October Socialist Revolution broke out and won, marking a turning point in the world's political life. That great revolution paved the way for humanity to move towards a new society, in which the working people were liberated from oppression and exploitation, and stood up to take control of their country and their destiny.
The victory of the October Revolution and the birth of the Soviet state founded by Lenin fundamentally changed the fate of the Russian people, transforming Russia from a poor and backward pre-capitalist feudal country into a great power. Russia's role in the international arena has been constantly enhanced.
The victory of the Russian October Revolution transformed the “ghost haunting Europe” into a real force. Marxism-Leninism went from scientific theory to practice, from ideology to vivid reality on a world scale.

The victory of the Russian October Revolution had a strong impact on the lives and politics of many countries and peoples in the world . Many communist and workers' parties were born in many countries; the international solidarity movement was formed and developed widely across all continents. The working class and laboring people in many colonial and dependent countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America rose up to fight for national independence. The national liberation movement developed like a waterfall across the globe; hundreds of millions of people were liberated from the shackles of slavery of colonialism and imperialism.
With the emergence and existence of more than 7 decades of Soviet Russia and then the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), humanity has witnessed miraculous changes in human life on 1/3 of the earth's surface.
During World War II, with its political, spiritual, economic and military potential, the Soviet Red Army defeated the fascist forces to their lairs, contributing decisively to saving many countries and peoples in Europe and Asia from the genocide of fascism.
The great achievements of the socialist system with the Soviet Union as its pillar have also awakened and encouraged the movement for people's livelihood, democracy and social progress in developed capitalist countries, forcing capitalism and imperialism to make adjustments to adapt and survive.

As Lenin once affirmed: “Our October Revolution opened a new era in world history”. Assessing the stature, significance and great value of the Russian October Revolution, President Ho Chi Minh wrote: “Like the brilliant sun, the October Revolution shone across the five continents, awakening millions and millions of oppressed and exploited people on earth. In human history, there has never been a revolution with such great and profound significance”. Thus, the Russian October Revolution in 1917 had the significance of opening a new era throughout the world.
Since the October Revolution in Russia, the revolutionary movement in each country, including Vietnam, has become an inseparable part of the world revolutionary movement.
Since its inception and during the process of leading the Vietnamese revolution, the Communist Party of Vietnam, regardless of conditions or circumstances, has always remained loyal to and creatively applied Marxism-Leninism and valuable lessons from the Russian October Revolution to the specific conditions of our country.
Faced with profound changes in the times and the world, especially since the collapse of the socialist regime in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, our Party continues to affirm: “The guiding ideology of our entire Party, people and army is to firmly adhere to the goal of national independence and socialism and consider it a matter of principle, of vital significance to our regime, and the solid ideological foundation of our Party, not allowing anyone to waver or waver.”
After 37 years of implementing the renovation process initiated and led by the Communist Party of Vietnam, our country has proactively and actively integrated into the international community in a comprehensive, deep, flexible and effective manner, contributing to realizing the aspiration to develop a prosperous and happy country.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong assessed: “With all modesty, we can still say that: Our country has never had such a foundation, potential, position and international prestige as today”. The country's great achievements are vivid proof that the path to socialism is correct, creative, in accordance with objective laws, with Vietnamese reality and the development trend of the times, opened by the great October Revolution in Russia.

Today, taking advantage of the serious crisis of socialism in the world, hostile forces are fiercely opposing and attempting to deny the achievements of the Russian October Revolution and the ideological foundation of this great revolution, Marxism-Leninism. Faced with the harsh difficulties and challenges of socialism, in the international communist and workers' movements, pessimism, wavering, and conflicting opinions have also appeared, raising questions about the stature and value of the Russian October Revolution.
However, "a hand cannot cover the sun", the ideals and noble human values of the October Revolution are still full of eternal vitality, always shining and imprinted in the minds of the Russian people and of humanity.
We can affirm that all plots and tricks against Marxism-Leninism and socialism by hostile forces and opportunists over the past decades have further highlighted the stature, significance and profound contemporary value of the great October Socialist Revolution in Russia.
