Vladimir Lenin directed the Communist Revolution in 1917.
The Bolshevik Party, later on re-named the Communist Party, seized power in October 1917 (Russian calendar) and became the ruling force.
Lenin, Trotsky, Sverdlov, and Stalin began this process in the late summer of 1917 before their "October 1917 revolution", but it was not completed until the 1920s after Stalin took over following Lenin's death.
the communist party won in 1917 but its reign didn't end until much later since it had altercations with Adolf Hitler. I'm not sure what date that is though (it's hard to find) but communism did not leave in 1917. Also, they ended somewhere around... 1981 i believe
