Technically speaking, no one ever set up a communist state as Karl Marx defined communism. Vladimir Lenin, after the October Russian Revolution, set up a socialist state in Russia, expecting that at some time in the future it would become a true communist state. It was referred to as a communist state because he had the name of the Bolshevik Party changed to the Communist Party in 1918.

Vladimir I. Lenin led the second Russian Revolution in 1917 and set up the Communist government. Economically speaking, it was a socialist state, not a communist state.
