Vladimir Lenin

Vladimir Lenin was the leading figure in the Russian revolution and the formation of the Soviet Union. He was first a law student, but ended up leading the Bolsheviks and eventually taking control of the government. At the time, Russia was ruled by the Tsar, Tsar Alexander III. He lead to the end of the monarchy in Russia and created the Soviet Union, a nation in which he had a dream where there will be no hierarchy in a country. There will only be the working force of the country who owns and run the country. There will be no landlords or class of people that pays or controls the labor class of people. There will only be the labor class of people.
Before the Soviet Union, Russia was a monarchy with the Tsar in control, where there are nobles and people who were like lords and landlords. They would be the ones that would control the nation, which Lenin saw that it was a way to control the people and that it was a way for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer and die of starvation. Lenin saw that to make the people as equal as possible, created the Soviet Union where he thought that when there are no hierarchy of people, no classes except for one, the labor class, there will be equality and happiness.
This was because Lenin got most of his ideas from Carl Marx, the creator of the Marxism. It was the same concept as the Communism that Lenin created. The world that Lenin created, however, was a nation that was filled with lots of errors and ways for people to exploit them.
The economy, for instance, would not grow as fast as other types of government, since everyone is the labor force. There are no people or groups of people who can do free companies or own business for their own. This is because it would put the people in the hierarchy or class of people that are not laborers. There will only be common ownership, or that everything in the country belongs to everyone.
The political influence is also great as well. In this new system, it is a step away from monarchy and a little more closer towards the people (labor class) running the country and a little bit of communism. But in actuality, the country was run by officers and dictators as Stalin would eventually after the death of Lenin. This was because to make sure that the country would be run right, a government of the party of Lenin would have to run the country and have to govern the peoples. This meant that it is not that much different from the other governments.
The society also changed. The people were expected to be all labor class, equal and same. However, this only meant that the new government, the controlling body of the nation, has the entire population as labors, where no one is safe from being taken and used. It was a way to ensure that all was equal in this new system.
