When did USSR become communist?

It was always communist. That was the basic foundation for the whole system of government. it was Imperial Russia until the two revolutions in 1917. firstly in February when the middle classes in the Duma (the puppet parliament) overthrew the Tsar, Nicholas II. they set up a government known as the Provisional government but was unpopular as they wanted to continue in WW1 so the Bolsheviks (communists) overthrew the government and took control themselves. That is the beginnings of the Soviet Union.


What role did Stalin serve under Lenin?

Stalin had many roles under Lenin. In 1917, with Lenin in exile in Switzerland, Stalin (with Lev Kamenev) ran the Bolshevik Party until April when Lenin returned. Stalin also led the Party when Lenin was in hiding in Finland after the abortive attempted Bolshevik coup in July. He was one of five leaders of the Military Revolutionary Centre, which became the armed force that backed up the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution. Perhaps his most important position was as Peoples Commissar for Nationalities, which allowed him access to many Bolshevik leaders. He made many alliances which later helped him oust Leon Trotsky, Grigory Zinoviev and Nikolai Bukharin as rivals for succession in leadership of the Communist Party after Lenin's death in 1924. In 1922 after the Eighth Party Congress, Stalin was appointed General Secretary of the Communist Party.

Why did the liberal experiment in russia fail and Lenin's revolution succeed?

The Bolshevik slogans "Bread, Land and Peace" and "All Power to the Soviets" sum up the other major factors: The cities were starving as the peasants were now in uniform fighting in the war - they could not plough, sow or harvest the crops. And the food delivery infrastructure had broken down. The peasants wanted the Provisional Government to give them the land they worked on - it didn't, and the most of the land was still owned by the aristocracy. And Russia was doing badly in the war and most people wanted Russia to withdraw from it. Soviets were seen as genuinely democratic bodies - they were mostly formed spontaneously and ran everything from factories to city blocks. By demanding All Power to the Soviets the Bolsheviks were tapping into popular democratic demands.
