Lenin was very much in favor of socialism as a stepping stone to communism. Being influenced by Karl Marx, Lenin understood that a true communist society had to be preceded by a fairly long period of socialism, perhaps generations long, before human nature lost its capitalistic nature.

Who brought the government of communism to Russia?

That was Lenin's goal but after he died Stalin took over and killed many people because he wanted socialism. Lenin did not change Russia into a communist state. He changed it into a socialist sate. This was his purpose all along regardless of the fact that Stalin turned everything into a totalitarian dictatorship. According to Karl Marx, the capitalist society would become a socialist one first, then after generations of socialism it would evolve into communism. Communism is not something that can be imposed on any society, but socialism is. Lenin wanted to start that process so after his revolution he abolished all aspects of capitalism in favor of socialism. Although they called it socialism, it was a very poor imitation of what Karl Marx envisioned. In fact, even calling it an imitation of socialism is going too far.

Ture or false in the Soviet Union communism was already established when Joseph Stalin cae to power in the mid - 1920s?

False. Most people would say True, because Vladimir Lenin had orchestrated the Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917 (November New Style) and then won the Russian Civil War before Stalin came to power. The fact is that "communism" as Karl Marx predicted it has never been established in any country. Lenin established socialism after the Revolution and Stalin continued socialism after Lenin was dead. And it was a miserable excuse of socialism at that. Lenin's brand of socialism wasn't true Marxian socialism either. Stalin only made it worse. But something had already been established before Stalin came to power. It just wasn't communism.

What was lenins main goal?

Vladimir Lenin's main goal was to rid Russia (and the world) of capitalism and replace it with socialism. Socialism, with the guidance of the Dictatorship of the proletariat, would, according to Marxian doctrine, eventually evolve into communism. Communism in the Marxian sense of a societal system could not be imposed without an intervening period of socialism. What Lenin and Stalin later created was not communism. And it was a pretty poor version of socialism as well. The overthrow of the Tsar was not his main goal. That had already been done in the February Revolution of 1917. By the time Lenin orchestrated the October Revolution of 1917, the Provisional Government had been in place for eight months. If the overthrow of the Tsar had been Lenin's "main goal", he would not have overthrown the Provisional Government eight months after the Tsar had been overthrown.
