Did Lenin favor or oppose war communism?
Lenin favored it, because he instituted it right after the October Revolution. War communism did not impose full socialism or communism on all aspects of Russia's economy. The Bolsheviks were simply too weak in numbers to immediately govern the entire economy of Russia with its millions of peasant farmers. Nor were they able to take full control of all the factories and other industry in the country. When the Russian Civil War broke out, the Bolsheviks were even less able to handle the economic demands of fighting the war. For this reason, war communism was instituted by Lenin in order to enable the Bolsheviks to survive the Civil War in power. War communism was later scrapped in favor of Lenin's New Economic Policy.

How did Lenin's death affect the Soviet Union?
Probably the most important result of Lenin's death was that the feud between Trotsky and Stalin developed into a struggle for power. Trotsky believed in international revolution, while Stalin was quite content for communism to be based in one country with himself at the head. Stalin was successful and became effectively a dictator while Trotsky was exiled.
Was lenin a fascist dictator?
Like any true tyrant, Vladimir Lenin came to power by force. Via the violence of the Bolshevik Takeover, Lenin was able to install himself into a position of absolute power through purely undemocratic means as the sole, central leader of the entire Russian state, a position he used to impose his will and the totalitarian dogma of Communism onto the populace through mass murder, government theft and state force. Claims that Lenin was democratically elected, that he did not use his position to inflict his will through lethal force or that he had to face re-election are historical revisionism.
Who was the Russian leader during the 1930?
Technically, Vladimir Lenin was leader of Russia until his death in January 1924, even though he was completely disabled by a stroke and was not able to do anything. After Lenin died and for the rest of 1924, Russia was led by a trio of Joseph Stalin, Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev. Joseph Stalin was not the sole rule until much later.

What roles did Lenin play in the Russian Revolution?
Lenin was the mastermind behind the October Revolution. He was put into exile in early 1917, but the Germans thought he would subvert the morale of the Russian Army, so they sent him on a train to Petrograd. From there he organized the group known as the Bolsheviks. He made sure that Bolsheviks were organising in the army and navy and in the large factories across the empire. He also began plotting for the provisional government's downfall. He attempted to put his plan in action in July 1917, but it failed, and he fled to Finland. But the provisional government needed his Bolsheviks in order to help quell a Tsarist mutiny in the army, and soon he was able to return. During the events of the October Revolution he directed the activities from the Bolshevik headquarters at the Smolny Institute. Had Lenin not been in Russia, it is highly unlikely that the Bolsheviks would have begun the October Revolution.
Did Lenin oppose the idea of a tightly knit party to lead the revolution in Russia?
No, that was one of the concepts that he advocated so strongly that it led to the split in the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party into the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks. According to Marxist thought, the proletarian revolution would come about when millions of workers united and seized control of the means of production. Lenin felt that revolution should be by a small group of professional revolutionaries. Lenin wanted the revolutionary group kept to a minimum so that counter revolutionaries would not be able to infiltrate the organization to undermine its revolutionary activities.
