:I'm confused, what was wrong with saying that Marxism-Leninism lasted until the fall of the U.S.S.R.? Sayingt that Stalin destroyed everything seems kind of unencyclopedic.[[User:NSmyth|NSmyth]] 01:22, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

:::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.
