They believed in Lenin more, though Stalin was his successor. They believed in Stalin because Stalin promised the proletariats equality.

Equality was important to them because under the rule of Tsar, they were living under poverty. So equality was the better alternative

Even though Stalin promised them equality, he broke his promise by creating a class disparity, by only benefiting the communist party.

The proletariat did not believe in Stalin, because Stalin never promised them anything. Lenin had to make promises in order to get the Russian people to back him and his Bolsheviks against the Provisional Government. Stalin was just in the right place at the right time and with sufficient ruthlessness to move into a position of power after Lenin died whether the people liked it or not.
