Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was a leading figure in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and is known as the father of the Russian Revolution. His efforts landed him in a position of power called the Chair of the Council of People's Commissars, which ruled for a short period over the entirety of Russia. Before his ascent, Lenin was a recognizable revolutionary who fermented violence and upheaval in his attempt to overthrow the Czarist dictatorship of Nicholas II. Afterward, he formed the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. He was at the forefront of communist, socialist, and workers revolutions around the world. He was the head of the Communist Internationale, and developed a modern economy, deployed modern science and technology throughout the Soviet Union. By his death in 1924, there was a fierce battle over who would rule the Soviet Union, and he explicitly stated that Joseph Stalin should not be put as General Secretary in his will. However this was ignored by the Communist Party, as they were afraid to remove Stalin.
