(1) Significance for the Soviet Union:

- Marked the complete collapse of the Russian Empire and the Provisional Bourgeois Government: The Russian Tsarist regime and the provisional bourgeois government were replaced by socialist policies, ushering in a new era across the vast lands of the Soviet Union. With its area covering 1/6 of the Earth, the unification under the socialist banner laid the foundation for developments in economics, politics, and culture.

- Represented the right to national self-determination and unity of the republics: The establishment of the Soviet Union reaffirmed the right of nations to self-determination in choosing their path of development. The Soviet republics united under a common regime, building and protecting revolutionary achievements together, defeating all divisive plots by hostile forces.

Concurrently, this strength allowed the Soviet Union to adequately defend the country against foreign threats, affirming its position as one of the world's leading powers.

(2) Significance for the world:

- Demonstrated the validity of Marx-Leninist theory: Establishing a socialist state in the Soviet Union was a powerful testament to the scientific nature of Marx-Leninist theory. For the first time in history, the working class led the people in overthrowing capitalist policies and successfully building a proletariat state.
