Lenin's ideas differed from Marx's primarily in his approach to revolution and the role of the vanguard party. While Marx envisioned a spontaneous uprising of the proletariat, Lenin argued for a disciplined party of professional revolutionaries to lead the working class. Additionally, Lenin adapted Marxist theory to the conditions of Russia, emphasizing the need for a revolutionary phase in a less industrialized society, which Marx had not fully addressed. This led to the establishment of a Dictatorship of the proletariat, which was more centralized than Marx's original vision.

Lenin had a powerful army in the biggest country in the world and Marks had only books and words (and a very clever wife!). The difference is always between theory and how they evolve when they face real life.

Lenin, Engels, Marx, and Stallin (a.k.a. his Soviet forefathers).
Lenin adapted Karl Marx's ideas about communism and socialism although with some differences. After the Revolution and during the Russian Civil War, Lenin imposed a socialist system in place of the former capitalist system and he imposed what was called 'war communism' on the country.
Lenin believed in the idea of socialism in one country whereas Marx believed in a worldwide revolution. Lenin also believed that revolution would not happen by itself and that it needed a group of revolutionary elite to lead it. Marx believed that all the proletariat would eventually rise and revolt.
communism Bolshevism and/or Leninism combines the ideas of Marx and Lenin although Lenin has changed some of Marx's ideas around. Thus there is a distinction between Bolshevism/Leninism and Marxism.
