Pavel Dybenko...Obscurity and Lies

The murkiness regarding Dybenko's legacy in Russian History has allowed for false conceptions to thrive.
Unfortunately, intellectuals of early Soviet era history display an indifferent tone when bringing up the name Dybenko.  Most see Dybenko as an uneducated buffoon...a stupid careerist....a coward...a drunkard...or an overall lunatic of Lenin's fancies...Still others view Dybenko accordingly ..."without Alexsandra Kollontai" ...Dybenko would not be able to tie his own shoes.

Such nonsense... as Napoleon wrote, "winners write history"....whether it was Kerensky and his lot of incompetent ministers unable to deal with current events facing the great nation or Lenin and Trotsky whose ambitions destroyed the populist uprising known as Great October.   Or the even broader irony...the Romanov...whose bloody monarchy history led to revolution...being canonized after the fall of the soviet union.  All of the above so called leaders of public trust had only the desire of attaining and maintaining power in their own interests.
