After Vladimir lenin seized control of Russia in 1917 what happened?

First of all, I would like to comment on the question itself. The Russian Revolution of 1917 was not one man seizing control, but a popular uprising of the Russian people against the Tsar headed by Vladimir Lenin (the leader of the Bolsheviks, or Communist Revolutionaries) and Leon Trotsky (commander of the Red Army). After Lenin became the leader of the Russian Provisional Government, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was formally established. This was a grouping of states including Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and others. The Soviet Union became a self declared Socialist state (Socialist implying equal pay, fair hours, free education, etc). However, the political and economic situation deteriorated rapidly following Lenin's death, as a power struggle took place between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. Stalin took power with disastrous consequences.
