Joseph Stalin triumphed in their rivalry. Stalin had political alliances with too many highly placed Communist Party officials (like Groiry Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev) for Trotsky to resist.

Stalin ruled the Soviet Union singlehandedly from about 1928 till his death in 1953.
Why did children report their parents to the secret police?
Under Bolshevik led Russia, children who reported their parents were rewarded as heroes of the state and given rewards. Sometimes, in the years of state imposed famine, children would denounce their parents for food either because it was given to them by the government or because, with the parents now gone, they could do what they wanted to do.
After the October Revolution when Lenin and the Bolsheviks took control of Russia, they placed emphasis on the importance of the state and practically destroyed the concept of family. They felt that family members who had allegiance to one another did not have the proper allegiance to the state. Children were encouraged to denounce their parents for any inkling of counter-revolutionary thought.
What was a result of the Bolshevik Revolution?
The Bolshevik Revolution abolished all hope for a democratic liberal order. Many Bolsheviks wanted an election, Lenin wanted to remain in charge and only reluctantly agreed to them.

He concluded the advanced segments had voted for him, shut down Constituent Assembly after one meeting and sent guards in to make sure they did not meet again. He encouraging class wars against "rich and poor peasants" across the country. In 1918, Russia signed the Treaty of Brest -Litovsk that deprived it of the entire Ukraine, the Baltic provinces, Finland and caused many communist to resign in disgust.

What was Lenin's attitude toward Racism?
Lenin viewed racism as a product and a tool of bourgeois society. Racism is used to win over working-class people to sacrificing and dying for imperial adventures abroad (in Lenin's time, tzarist expansion in central and east Asia, in our time, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq), and also to divide different sections of workers (who would otherwise be the overwhelming majority) in their struggles for economic freedom and political power. Therefore, racism was definitely an obstacle to socialist revolution. The way to overcome these national rivalries was to build an "international" of socialists from all over the world. Delegates from China, India, and elsewhere came to the first congresses of Lenin's Third International (which would later betray 1st and 3rd world movements time and again after Lenin's death).
To see Lenin's views on the use of racism as a tool of imperialist policy, look up "national self-determination" vs "social chauvinism".
Domestically speaking, Lenin would advocate for labor-organizations in various nations to instill working-class consciousness and combat forms of "false-consciousness" that divided the working class, which include racism, sexism, homo-phobia, and religious divisions. He wrote letters to American revolutionaries convincing them to argue for the inclusion of blacks in the labor movement, and, were he around today, he would probably congratulate Egyptian Mulsims and Copts (Christians) for coming together at Tahrir Square, despite centuries of Muslim oppression toward Copts.
Racism is one of the issues that, Lenin would argue, necessitates the formation of a "vanguard-party" of the most class-conscious workers. Common economic oppression alone are not enough to get workers to unite, since racism divides and oppresses different sections of workers. Class unity can't be left to spontaneity... It takes organizations of trained and conscious anti-racists, anti-sexists, etc, to work amongst their co-workers, neighbors, and fellow soldiers, to win them to the idea of racial unity.
Finally, for Lenin, for any true socialist, racism is simply one of the distortions of human nature occurring within the confines of class society that we can look forward to abolishing once we burst from those confines. Hopefully we'll be nicer to other life-forms and to aliens as well :) (my views, not necessarily Lenin's).

Did Hitler and Lenin work together?
Hitler and Lenin never worked together as leaders of their separate countries, Germany and Russia. Lenin died in 1924 and so was not alive when Hitler took control. Hitler and Joseph Stalin did work together in a manner of speaking as leaders of their respective countries at least for a short time. The two leaders entered into a non-aggression pact designed to ensure that Germany would not have to fight Russia on the eastern front while it was going to be at war with France and England on the western front. They did not so much work together as just stay out of each other's way.
