The author analyzes Russian communo-socialism and its implementation in Russia and Ukraine. He proves that Lenin’s communo-socialism had nothing in common with European socialism, except for Marxist phraseology, but it found support among the masses of the people who were gripped by ‘unconscious socialism’. Lenin and his successors created a totalitarian structure of power and property through triple expropriation: the Bolshevik Party was expropriated by its leaders; the Soviet state — by the Bolshevik Party; and the society — by the Soviet state. In Lenin’s Russia and in Ukraine, occupied by Russia, a unique in the history of state formation state society emerged. It had two power verticals, that seeped into the mass of the people — the unconstitutional party vertical (with the functions of a dictatorship) and the constitutional Soviet one (with management functions).
