Who was the worse Lenin or Stalin?
By far Joseph Stalin was worse than Lenin. Stalin sent millions of people to their unjustifiable deaths. Although Lenin was the leader of the soviet revolution he was never in power long enough to be responsible for the shear magnitude of human atrocities committed by Stalin. Lenin, however, was responsible for purging parts of some ethnic and government opposition groups. Stalin was one of Lenin's "enforcers" and would kill innocent people without cause, question, or concern. It was after Lenin's death when Stalin took over and had many high ranking military and revolutionary officer/officials executed. Also, he sent millions of innocent Soviets to Siberia as slaves and work them essentially to their deaths.

What was Lenin's last wish?
Lenin's last wish was that the Communist Party find some way to eliminate Joseph Stalin from his positions of power within the Communist Party so that Leon Trotsky, rather than Stalin, would succeed him as leader of the country on his death.
Why did Lenin want Trotsky to be his successor?
While Lenin was initially critical of both Trotsky and Stalin, toward the end he began to see Stalin's true ambitions and strongly favored Trotsky over him. Trotsky, (who was by no means an angle) was ruthless but extremely dedicated to communism and sincerely belived in the cause. Trotsky would probably no do any thing as awful as Stalin did and probably would have entered WWII before stalin. all and all Trotsky's soviet union would probably bear more resembelence to the one envisioned by comrade Lenin.
What was the impact on Soviet people from Joseph Stalin?
It is easy to conclude that Stalin and Lenin were different but similar at the same time. They were similar for many different reasons. Both Lenin and Stalin were communist rulers of Russia. They both had favored communism and had everything to be government related. They also both practiced undemocratic strategies in order govern the nation. They both wished to have a socialist state and they both aimed to rebuild Russia and were marked by civil war. They both aimed and concentrated greatly to improve the economic system of Russia and tried to make it progress everyday such as the NEP, the New Economic Policy which was by Lenin, and the command economy which was by Stalin. And lastly, they both had good intentions, which was to make Russia the best it could be. So yes they did have similarities but yet they were so different. What was most different between Lenin and Stalin was the way they dealt with situations and they're mentality. This includes war tactics and etc. Lenin first off, did not like Stalin at all and made that clear before he passed away. He said that he had doubts about Stalin's "ambitious nature". Lenin thinks that although Stalin was sharp, he only focused on maintaining a lot of power and was not sure that he was able to use it sufficiently. He also did not think that Stalin was tolerable, loyal, polite, or considerate. The mentality that Stalin uses when he rules was much more different than the mentality that Lenin uses. Stalin uses fear and propaganda to scare the people into following his rules and listening to what he says. He also did not give the people that much freedom such as forcing them to be atheist, and punishing them with cruel punishments. Lenin on the other hand was more considerate, and liked to hear what the people had to say. This is why he supported the Soviet Supreme in which anyone 18 and or older was able to vote and express their opinion to the public. Stalin's rue was marked by cruelty and way and Lenin's was marked with good intentions. Lenin instituted many reforms such as a socialist state and gave peasants land. Stalin did not care for the peasants, and when the peasant upset him he killed thousands and thousands of them. Stalin's motives were different than Lenin's. Stalin had a more socialist perspective on rebuilding the nation, and his tactics on rulings were different than Lenin's as well. Also, Stalin did not have a guilty conscience at all. Lenin had more democratic point of views. Stalin, however, was more of a totalitarian. People described Stalin as more of a dictator because of the way he handled situations. He was very violent and rude, and when he was worried of things not going his way, he handled them in a violent manner and many of the situations with Trotsky, the peasants, and the purge. Although Stalin and Lenin were similar as to their goals as leaders, they were very different when it came to their personalities and who hey dealt with situations.
How have communist leaders misused Karl Marx's ideas?
Vladimir Lenin advanced the idea of communism to the people of Russia promising them that they would be better off under a communist regime than under the Czarist regime. The revolution was driven by political forces, not by the economic ones that Marx theorized about. Lenin did not abolish state government although Marx saw communism as a society without a government or even a need for one. After Lenin, Stalin made the government even more powerful and oppressive than had been the Czarist regime. Lenin and Stalin sold communism to the Russian people, however after the Russian people paid the price for that communism, neither Lenin nor Stalin delivered the promised product.
Was Mao's rule more brutal than that of Stalin or Hitler?
Yes, you could say that, as Mao was responsible for more deaths (largely through famine he caused) than Stalin or Hitler.
