False. Most people would say True, because Vladimir Lenin had orchestrated the Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917 (November New Style) and then won the Russian Civil War before Stalin came to power. The fact is that "communism" as Karl Marx predicted it has never been established in any country. Lenin established socialism after the Revolution and Stalin continued socialism after Lenin was dead. And it was a miserable excuse of socialism at that. Lenin's brand of socialism wasn't true Marxian socialism either. Stalin only made it worse.

But something had already been established before Stalin came to power. It just wasn't communism.
