What year did Russia's economy move from communism to a free enterprise system?
Russia is not yet a free enterprise; it is in transition.
Who gained more power in Russia after Lenin died?
Joseph Stalin gained more power than any other person after Lenin died. In the last year of Lenin's life, Stalin led Russia along with Lev Kamenev and Grigory Zinoviev. Then Stalin gradually ousted Leon Trotsky, Nikolai Bukharin, Zinoviev and Kamenev from consideration as Lenin's sole successor. In 1929, Stalin became the sole power in the Soviet Union.
What year did Lenin found Bolshevism?
In 1903, at the Russian Social Democratic Party Congress in Brussels, Belgium, Lenin adopted the name Bolshevik as the name for his faction of the Marxist RSDP. Lenin's group was more radical than the rest of the RSDP, which became known as the Mensheviks. Lenin's ideas had been forming over the years prior to this; however this was the first time the name Bolshevism was applied to Lenin's philosophy of the way to attain first socialism and then communism.
How did Stalin's chief goal goal differ from Lenin's?
Politically, Stalin believed that the Russian people were superior to the other races (Muslims, Ukrainians, Letts, Asians, etc.) within Russia and sought to exclude them from participation in government. Lenin believed in inclusion of all people within Russia in the spirit of creating a classless society that Marxian communism contemplated. Economically, Stalin sought to improve Russia's industrial and agricultural capacity by his Five-Year Plans. These brought all aspects of the economy under greater control of the central government. Lenin sought to revive the entire economy as a whole by his New Economic Policy. This re-introduced aspects of a capitalist economy in small industries and agriculture. Stalin adamantly opposed this strategy.
What year did Vladimir Lenin lead the Russian Revolution?
It was 1917 when Lenin and the Bolsheviks in a nearly bloodless coup took over the Provisional Government that had been in place since the February 1917 revolution. The Provisional Government was dissolved and Lenin assumed power in Russia. It wasn't until 1920 that his hold on Russia was solidified, because the Russian Civil War soon broke out and lasted until 1920.
