Nikolai Lenin, also known as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, was a leader of the Russian Revolution, and founded the Bolsheviks. Lenin was also the first head of the USSR. Lenin lived for the good of the future, and believed that Communism was the only way to save the future generations from the present.

There were two Russian Revolutions in 1917. Nikolai Lenin, properly known as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, had virtually nothing to do with the February Revolution of 1917. It occurred without his knowledge while he was living in exile in Switzerland.

He returned to Russia on April 3, 1917 and immediately began agitating against the new Provisional Government that had been set up when the Tsar abdicated. His Bolsheviks did everything they could to disrupt and undercut the Provisional Government as well as to organize resistance against it. Eventually he lead the October Revolution of 1917 in Russia, also known as the Bolshevik Revolution.
