He was born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, the name Lenin was just the word he used to attach to his ideology, Lenin was just the brand that he developed as he attempted to make good on his promise to export Leninism all over the world.
The man that came to be known as Vladimir Lenin almost single-handedly sparked communist revolution in Russia and he very nearly brought his brand of Marxism to the rest of the world. What drove him to do this? Where did he derive such an immense desire for societal change?
The political theories of Lenin have long outlived him, and have even gone on to outlive the Marxist state he helped to found; the Soviet Union. The name Lenin still reverberates around the world, and yet "Lenin" is not even his real name.
This book serves to examine the landscape that brought such a pivotal figure to such prominence, examining all of the catalysts, from personal to national, that led the man known simply as "Lenin" down his inexorable path of revolution.
