Steenies: Changes

May I suggest some minor changes to the English here, which seems to have been written by someone whose first language is Russian. (And who better to write on this topic?)

Change "the frigid Siberia" to "frigid Siberia" (or better yet just to "Siberia").
Change "after czar" to "after the Czar".

More generally, there should be links to a much more extensive history of Russia, especially the development of the Revolution from the late 1880s to 1917, and to events after the Revolution.

These would bring out that Lenin actually created the Bolshevik Party by leading a split within Russian Marxism; that the Bolsheviks considered themselves a faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, not a separate party themselves, until 1912; and that Russia, under Lenin's rule, underwent some great variations in economic organization prior to Stalin's final full socialization of the economy beginning in 1928 -- from the extremes of "War Communism" during the Civil War, to the "New Economic Policy" after 1921, none of them successful in squaring the circle of how a country led by thorough socialists can experience all-round sustainable economic growth to match and exceed that achievable under a system of ordered liberty.

== Changes ==

Firstly saying someone destroyed everything is subjective.
Secondly saying Stalin destroyed Marxism-Leninism (communism) ignores the fact the USSR continued after Stalin died in 1953.
