trick question- there has never been a true communist state. But, Vladimir Lenin could be considered the first, as he was a vehement Marxist.
Vladimir Lenin
The Russian Revolution resulted in Russia becoming a communist state.
The Russian working class overthrew the existing government to establish a communist state.
The tsars were heads of state before the Russian revolution (similar to kings). The Russian leader who became known as the Red Tsar was Joseph Stalin, who lead the Communist Soviet Union from 1927 - 1953, after he established a dictatorship by dismantling Lenin's (his predecessor) system of government.
The People's Republic of China is often cited as an example of a communist state due to its one-party political system and state ownership of key industries.
The Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP), a Marxist political party, wanted a Communist state. The RSDLP had two factions, the Bolshevik and the Menshevik factions. The Bolsheviks eventually split from the RSDLP, took control of the Russian Provisional Government and created the first Communist government. At first the new communist nation was called the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic and then became the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR or Soviet Union.
Yugoslavia
The opposing of the Russian Czar led to the Russian Revolution, the death of the Russian monarchy, and the establishment of the Russian Communist State. The French had nothing to do with the Russian Revolution.
Mao Tse-Tung, also called Chairman Mao.
Answer this question… The Soviet Union became the world's first communist state.
Technically speaking, no one ever set up a communist state as Karl Marx defined communism. Vladimir Lenin, after the October Russian Revolution, set up a socialist state in Russia, expecting that at some time in the future it would become a true communist state. It was referred to as a communist state because he had the name of the Bolshevik Party changed to the Communist Party in 1918.
