Why are Vladimir Lennin and Joseph Stalin significant in Russian history?

Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin are significant figures in Russian history for their pivotal roles in the establishment and consolidation of the Soviet Union. Lenin led the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, which dismantled the Tsarist regime and introduced communist governance. Stalin succeeded Lenin and transformed the USSR into a major world power through rapid industrialization and collectivization, albeit at a tremendous human cost due to widespread purges and famines. Their legacies continue to influence Russian politics and society today.


How did the Russian Revolution influence the war?

The February Revolution in 1917 did not affect it at all, because the new Provisional Government kept it going just as the Tsar had done. The October Revolution eventually ended Russia's participation in the war when Lenin entered into the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany. After that, Germany moved the military forces that were fighting the Russians over to fight the French and English on the western front. That increase in military force could have won the war for the Central Powers but then the United States entered the war and added its forces to the Allies.
