:::Lenin set the country off in a Marxist-Leninist direction. Upon Lenin's death, Trotsky (Lenin's protoge) and Stalin competed for power, with Stalin eventually gaining the upper hand. Stalin's policies were extremely un-Leninistic. Marxism-Leninism did not last until the fall of the USSR. It was eclipsed by Stalinism during the purges.

== Murderer? ==
Perhaps the phrasing in this article is too harsh, it is impossible to tell whether or not Lenin was truly devious, nor is it possible to determine whether he is a "murderer". A murderer is a person who kills someone, I do not believe that Lenin actually, personally, murdered anyone, though he was responsible for the death of a good number of people. On the other hand it could be argued that Bill Clinton or George W. Bush were responsible for at least as many deaths as Lenin during their services as President.
