The Russian military has been very important ever since the start of Lenin. It is the military power that was able to lead to him taking power. In the coup the army took the side of the Bolsheviks and he was able to gain his post as the leader. Also in the 1917 civil war the army fought to take control. Throughout the history of Russia many wars have changed the course of history including WWI and WWII. The Russians were the deciding factor in these battles with such large populations being able to fight. It has always been a superpower in the world and has the largest stockpile of nuclear arms. Every Male in Russia from 18-27 is required to serve a year in the military. Lenin would have used the military to get whatever he wanted just throughout much of Russian history. Millions of people were sent to die for the country in something that wasnt even their battle just like under Lenin.
