They both were Bolsheviks, looking forward to make a communist state in Russia.

Lenin was more democratic, he allowed inter-party discussions, he didn't purge everyone. Then he was a great theorist of socialism. Finally he was for NEP (temporary capitalistic) development of Russia and then the communism.

Stalin was an opportunist politician, a communist to his personal benefit. He was Rude, disgraceful and totally totalitarian. He abolished NEP and started "socialistic" policies.
