Yes, Vladimir Lenin married to Nadezhda Krupskaya in 1898
Lenin's first name was Vladimir. He was also called Nikolai at times after he adopted the name Lenin.
No group or person overthrew Lenin. Lenin died of natural causes in 1924 while still in power.
Vladimir Lenin was the first communist leader for Russia. After the successful revolution against the Russian Provisional government in October, 1917, Lenin later discarded the term Bolshevik in favor of Communist. The party soon after changed the name of Russia to the Soviet Union.
First of all, I would like to comment on the question itself. The Russian Revolution of 1917 was not one man seizing control, but a popular uprising of the Russian people against the Tsar headed by Vladimir Lenin (the leader of the Bolsheviks, or Communist Revolutionaries) and Leon Trotsky (commander of the Red Army). After Lenin became the leader of the Russian Provisional Government, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was formally established. This was a grouping of states including Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and others. The Soviet Union became a self declared Socialist state (Socialist implying equal pay, fair hours, free education, etc). However, the political and economic situation deteriorated rapidly following Lenin's death, as a power struggle took place between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. Stalin took power with disastrous consequences.
