I really don't think so. Russia never reached the stage of capitalism and we're talking 50-100 years here(could be less). Marx believed in the transformation of capitalism to socialism when it has reached it's height and then to communism.
False. In actuality, before Lenin's death, he had written that Stalin should not succeed him because he [Stalin] is more extreme & it would be dangerous.
Vladimir Lenin certainly launched communism in Russia and Joseph Stalin was the major leader who did the most to solidify communism in the Soviet Union.

No, Vladimir Lenin was the Soviet state's first Marxist leader.
Vladimir Lenin was the leader of Russia from 1917 to 1922. He was a communist, and he turned Russia into the Soviet Union. Lenin was predecessor to Stalin.
lenin
At first, lenin... then lenin died and Stalin screwed with the succession and seized power.
No, he did not. Vladimir Lenin is credited with introducing "communism" to the Soviet Union. Even so, Lenin and Stalin did not introduce true "communism." They introduced socialism and pretty poor versions of socialism at that.
