Abstract: When the socialist model in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe collapsed, some Western bourgeois scholars attributed the collapse to the obsolescence and errors of Marxism - Leninism. The article identifies and refutes the distorted allegations negating Marxism from this event, thereby continuing to affirm the lasting value of Marxism - Leninism - an essential component in the ideological foundation of our Party.

Keywords: Socialist model in the Soviet Union; Marxism - Leninism; protecting the Party’s ideological foundation; refuting wrongful and hostile views.
