Lenin shifted in favor of a transition between Tsarism and democracy.
Marx had called for the worker's revolution to be against the bourgeoisie dominated governments. Lenin conveniently jumped past this book mark of Marxist ideology by staging the Bolshevik revolution against, for all practical purposes, an autocracy. This was the Romanov dynasty that had never developed into a bourgeoisie nation.
Progress Publishers was created in 1931 in Moscow, Russia. It was a major publisher of books, primarily focusing on Marxist and Leninist literature during the Soviet era.

Lenin made Russia a major power
Lenin's major associates were Leon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, Grigory Zinoviev, Lev Kamenev and others.
When diversified conspiracy groups begin plotting a revolution or major change in their governments, one can be sure that over long periods of time, plans and objectives change. This was especially true in Russia between the years of 1903 and 1905. The Russian Marxists, democratic socialists and every group in between have time to ruminate, ideas change. One of Vladamir Lenin's most unusual ideas had even many of his Bolsheviks puzzled. What the Russian Marxist group found strange was Lenin's attempt to reconcile the scientific results of change based on Marx's ideas with the backwards economy and social issues of the day in current day Russia, speaking of Tsarist times.In Lenin's view, under the specific conditions of early 20th century Russia, Lenin did not believe that democracy could be achieved except by totalitarian means. This is where many of his fellow Marxists dropped their collective jaws.The Marxist concept of the dictatorship of the proletariat was shifted by Lenin from its application to the transition between democracy and socialism to the transition between Tsarism and democracy.These views lacked a warm welcome from many Marxists. Here Leon Trotsky stepped in and declared any type of revolutionary democratic dictatorship was a political impossibility. Trotsky being the ever Marxist minded intellectual did not at this time have the same view of the feudal Russian society as did Lenin.
Vladimir Lenin's political beliefs have a foundation in Marxism. He carried that belief to overthrow the Russian Provisional government and establish the first phase of Communism, name the dictatorship of the Proletariat. He is not one of these, however, he and Marxist associates decide to rule with great power and work diligently to establish a true Marxist based government in the new Soviet Union.
