Abstract:

The socialist revolution in the Soviet Union was the first try in the development of human society to bring socialism from theory to practice, which includes many values for references. The Soviet socialism has undergone three stages in the development of its core value: the first stage — its formation, development and prosperity, the second stage — its plight of growing into rigidness, and the third stage — its deconstruction and defeat. From its development we can learn lessons in the following four points: Marxism must hold the leading position in the ideological realm; it is essential to promote democracy within the Party and hence propel the building of social democracy; the cultivation of the socialist core value must be closely combined with the mass’ interests; and the Party’s leading position in the ideological realm must be firmly strengthened.

Key words: Soviet socialist revolution, soviet socialist core value, the building of social democracy, ideological realm, socialist core value system
