Lenin's speech: Consumers' and Producers' Co-Operative Societies.☭

Is this actually Lenin, or an actor playing as him?

All the other times i've heard Lenin speak, his voice didn't sound this deep.

Just wondering, I could be wrong.

Amazing, i always wanted to hear a speech from Lenin

where di you got this movies from ...of course if you don't mind me asking...i mean this must be verry reare

"It remains for the Soviet authorities to supervise the activity of the cooperative societies to see that there are no fraudulent practices, no concealment from the government, no abuses."

Is this why things break down?

Because people don't want to feel forced into practice. If things were voluntary (explicitly) without the authoritarian element like in anarchist organisation would things have gone better? Perhaps I am really understating the situation though and in essence the measures were completely necessary and justified with regard to counter revolution, and the realities on the ground so to speak. If you can point me in the right direction of a Marxist text on this I would be very greatful.

It's amazing to actually see Comrade Lenin talking about peasant's cooperatives. What a historic experience. Thank you.
