| | + | Lenin was one of the most influential persons in all of history. He was both a thinker and a revolutionary. He was an atheist. In 1889, he became a Marxist (as previously formulated by [[Karl Marx]]). He obtained a law degree shortly afterwards, and by 1895 was a subversive who was arrested and sent to [[Siberia]] as punishment. Once he served his time he left for Western Europe, where he developed his ideas further and became a leader of the Bolsheviks. He returned to Russia after the [[tsar]] abdicated in March 1917, and then Lenin led the Bolsheviks to power in the "October Revolution" (November in the Gregorian calendar). He then ruled the Soviet Union under Marxism-Leninism, until his death in 1924.
