STALIN
Lenin was not the first leader of Russia. He was the first leader of the Soviet Union when it was organized under the Treaty of the Soviet Union in late 1923 early 1924. Lenin was physically incapacitated by his strokes by then so he was not a true leader of government; however he is counted as the first leader of the new Soviet Union.
