Ilee'yah Kukla says
Everything is judged in comparison, We see Lenin as something who existed and helped form the Russian culture and spirit. In Comparison to everyone else he is still is in more positive light then Stalin or the Romanov Family
sunkist says
Some Russians still glorify Lenin and still follow his ideals with communism with the other half may look at Lenin and blame him for spreading his influence on Stalin and the many years of communism that partially ruined the the country.
Nick Redman says
Modern Russians for the most part see Lenin as a great Leader, Prominent Russian and a Patriot of the highest order. This is because he had ideas about changing Russia for the better, over threw a hated and oppresive Tsarist Regime and also tried to stop the rise of Stalin. Had Lenin lived longer or had his wishes mattered in the succession to the post of Party chief and Soviet Premier, the atrocities under Stalin may have never taken place, in fact Russia may have been a better place from what it eventually became, it may even have become that fabled socialist Utopia as dreamed by Marx and Engels.
