Wladimir Lenin
Wladimir Lenin, born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov in 1870, was a revolutionary leader and the architect of the October Revolution in 1917, which led to the establishment of the Soviet Union. His ideas on Marxism and his leadership of the Bolshevik Party were pivotal in overthrowing the provisional government and instituting a one-party state under the guise of the 'dictatorship of the proletariat.' Lenin's policies, including the New Economic Policy, aimed to stabilize the war-torn nation, but his regime was also marked by brutal repression and civil war. He died in 1924, leaving a complex legacy as a champion of the working class and a harbinger of totalitarianism.
