THE IDEOLOGY OF HO CHI MINH IN THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF THE NATIONAL-LIBERATION MOVEMENT OF VIETNAM

Abstract

The article is devoted to the description of the main parameters, periodization and the role of Ho Chi Minh ideology, as well as its main components. Particular attention is paid to the influence of traditional Chinese military-strategic thought, first of all the concepts of Sun Tzu, on the formation of the strategy of the Vietnamese national liberation movement on the eve of the First Indochina War (1946-1954). The inclusion of ancient treatises in the political studies of leading party and military staffs led to the spread of the ability to think stratagemically. These strategic approaches were later actively used by DRV leaders in the conflict against the United States during the Second Indochina War (1965- 1975), as well as today to analyze the approaches of political leaders of the great powers to solve regional security problems.
