    Lenin had quite a few socialists shot as well.

    He’s the one who betrayed the revolution.

    If Lenin had lived long enough, he would have likely put Stalin’s death count to shame.

      Yes to the first two, I think no to the last one.

      Stalin was… quite a character. I think Lenin’s brutality would be remembered clearer if it wasn’t for Stalin… but I also think Lenin wouldn’t have reached Stalin’s death toll.
