Vladimir Lenin is one of Russia’s best-known revolutionaries. He was a great politician and a statesman.
Lenin was the architect and the first head of the Soviet state. He managed to turn the Bolsheviks into the organization that became capable of seizing power in October 1917. It was Lenin who led the Bolsheviks to victory in the civil war against the many political opponents who were supported by foreign powers.
Expelled from the University for his Radical Ideas, Lenin completed his law degree as an external student and moved to Petrograd. Soon, he became an active revolutionary. Like many of his contemporaries, he was arrested. Lenin later emerged as a prominent figure in the international revolutionary movement and became the leader of the Bolshevik faction.
