in
marxist teaching, 搕he nationalities question?played a subordinate
role. ethnic problems were considered to be a characteristic of the
bourgeois capitalist world: as soon as capitalism gave way to
socialism, all social roots of interethnic antagonisms would be
eradicated and nations would come together in one supranational
world community. |

in
contrast to marx, however, lenin was aware of the revolutionary
potential of the oppressed nationalities and was determined to use
it. he referred to imperial russia as 搕he prison of peoples?and
incorporated the demand of the right of 搉ational self-determination
for all nations?into the first bolshevik party program (1903).
still, for lenin and his followers, class struggle took priority,
and they were firmly convinced that national problems would resolve
themselves automatically in a socialist russia. somehow, at a
stroke, the tsarist empire would be transformed into a proletarian
internationalist state and skip the stage of the development of
national states.

following the october takeover, the bolshevik government adopted the
揇eclaration of the rights of the peoples of russia.?the
declaration facilitated the acceptance of soviet power on the
multiethnic fringes of the disintegrating empire by promising its
peoples 揺quality and sovereignty?and reaffirming 搕he right to
free self-determination, up to secession.?intoxicated with the idea
of a world revolution and the 搃nternational solidarity of the
proletariat,?the bolshevik leadership did not seriously expect the
working masses of the ethnic periphery to claim self-determination.
the declaration of the right to self-determination in theory and its
denial in practice would determine the fundamental ambiguity of the
soviet regime抯 nationalities policy for many years to come.
the
new constitutional structure, set up by the bolsheviks, made
important concessions to the principle of nationality. in 1918 the
former imperial core territories were proclaimed a federation,
called the russian socialist federated soviet republic. a number of
separate republics also sprang up on the imperial fringes that had
fallen off from the russian center during the revolutionary
upheaval. they were tied to russia by military treaties and economic
agreements, but they remained for some time formally independent.
