V.I. Lenin, born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, was a Russian communist revolutionary and politician, who played a pivotal role in the October Revolution of 1917 which propelled his faction, Bolsheviks, to power in Russia. He led Communist Russia through the subsequent brutal Civil War and in 1922 became the first leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. He continued to selflessly struggle for the cause of Communism until his unfortunate, untimely death in 1924.
Lenin is rightly considered one of the most influential figures in modern history. Lenin's noble communist ideals - known as Leninism - served as the basis for the glorious Soviet state. In communist nations and especially in the great Soviet Union, Lenin is revered as a great communist leader and founder of the USSR. Lenin is an inspiration to millions around the world who read his work and dedicate themselves to his cause.
In honor of this accomplished man the Soviet Union has renamed the former Tsarist capital Petrograd to Leningrad. The Soviet people have sworn that when the banner of communism flies high over New York, the so-called Statue of Liberty shall be torn down and replaced with one of this great revolutionary - Lenin, who lighted for all the progressive peoples of the world the Way to Communism!
