Research On Lenin’s Ecological Thought

Lenin’s ecological thought is a key component of Leninism and an indispensable and important content of Marxist theory.In leading the proletariat in the journey of socialist construction,Lenin always placed ecological construction in an important position,and on the basis of fully absorbing the ecological ideas of Marx and Engels and the traditional ecological culture of Russia,he gradually explored a road of ecological construction that suits the national conditions of Soviet Russia,and formed Lenin’s ecological thought.With its strong scientific and advanced nature,Lenin’s ecological thought revealed the root cause of the ecological crisis,solved the ecological problems left over from the tsarist period,removed the ecological obstacles in the road of socialist construction in Soviet Russia,and realized the first integration of Marxist ecological thought and socialist country construction.The formation of Lenin’s ecological thought has its specific historical background.On the one hand,capitalism has developed from free competition to monopoly.Under the control of monopoly capitalism,the world’s natural resources are facing depletion and the ecological environment has been seriously damaged.On the other hand,in Russia,the feudal landlord class and the bourgeoisie headed by the tsar oppressed and exploited the proletariat,resulting in the collapse of the Russian small-scale peasant economy,and the contradiction between man and nature became increasingly acute.The broad masses of the proletariat urgently need ecological ideology in line with the current situation in order to fight against the "two mountains".Based on this situation,Lenin’s ecological thought was born.Lenin’s ecological thought is rich in content and covers many fields.In the practice of socialist construction by the Soviet people,Lenin took the harmonious coexistence of man and nature as the starting point,emphasized respect for nature,and used the power of nature to promote the development of social productive forces.Lenin mobilized the broad masses of the people to conserve and recycle resources,and to consolidate the material foundation for socialist construction with abundant resources.Lenin pointed out the use of advanced science and technology to promote the development of socialist industry and agriculture,and to be good at improving the ecological environment with the help of science and technology.Lenin proposed to promote environmental legislation and escort the construction of ecological civilization in the form of law.Lenin’s ecological thought is historical and concrete.It not only helped Soviet Russia get rid of the ecological dilemma,but also provided profound enlightenment for China to build a socialist ecological civilization with Chinese characteristics in the new era.Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up,while China’s socialist construction has made remarkable achievements,it has also caused a certain degree of ecological and environmental problems.The successful practice of Lenin’s ecological thought in Soviet Russia has pointed out the way forward for the construction of ecological civilization in China,which also adheres to the socialist system,that is,on the road of Chinese-style modernization that realizes harmonious coexistence between man and nature,it is necessary to promote harmonious coexistence between man and nature on the premise of respecting nature;It is necessary to be guided by resource conservation and advocate low-carbon consumption;It is necessary to take innovation and technology as the driving force and use science and technology to improve the ecological environment;It is necessary to take sound laws as a guarantee and provide legal compliance for the construction of ecological civilization.
