沙皇政府通过军事占领和殖民政策,把单一民族国家变成多民族国家,占有许多殖民地。这些殖民地不在脱离本土的海外,而被沙皇政府划入自己的版图,直接实行军事殖民统治,成为俄国的边远民族地区。这些地区被称为俄国的“殖民地边区”或“民族殖民地”。列宁认为,俄国的殖民地和俄国的被压迫民族之间的差别“是不清楚、不具体和不重要的。”“对俄国说来,试图在被压迫民族和殖民地之间找出某种重大的差别,那是特别荒谬的。”十月革命胜利后,那些仍处在前资本主义发展阶段的少数民族边区面临着向社会主义过渡的问题。列宁坚持马克思主义关于落后国家向社会主义过渡的基本原理,同时从俄国的实际出发,创造性地丰富和发展了这一原理,从理论和实践的结合上回答了时代提出的新问题。 Through the military occupation and colonial policies, the tsarist government turned the single nation-state into a multi-ethnic state with many colonies. These colonies, instead of being detached from their homeland overseas, are placed in their own territory by the Tsarist government and are directly under military colonial rule and become Russia’s remote ethnic areas. These areas are known as Russia’s “colonial border” or “ethnic colony.” Lenin believes that the differences between the Russian colonies and the oppressed peoples of Russia “are unclear, unspecified, and insignificant.” “To Russia, it is trying to find some sort of major difference between the oppressed nations and the colonies It is especially ridiculous. ”After the victory of the October Revolution, the border areas of ethnic minorities still in the pre-capitalist development stage faced the issue of the transition to socialism. Lenin stuck to the basic tenets of Marxism on the transition of underdeveloped countries to socialism. From the reality of Russia, Lenin creatively enriched and developed this principle, answering the new questions posed by the times from the combination of theory and practice.
