Lenin was and keeps being a historical character in the Russian History. Russia would not be as it is nowadays if it had not been for Lenin and what succeeded him since the Revolution. And from what I have read it was not Lenin who really must be blamed for the failures of Communism, but his successors who turned the initial ideology into totalitarianism.
