They differ in many ways. They both founded forms of Communism, and one lived in Russia (Lenin) while the other lived in Germany (Marx).

Well, first, you must know that Karl Marx was the author of the Communist Manifesto, not Lenin.
Also, when Lenin took power in the USSR, he changed the basic beliefs of Communism. Pure communism has a radical change in government, a temporary dictatorship (the fall of the wealthy), and then the people rule evenly.
With Lenin, he put himself into a permanet dictatorship. He also, toward the end of his time, allowed more democratic ideas flow into certain acts (Look that one up, there was a huge economic act he let pass that pretty much destroyed his career).
