Immediately after the October Revolution, or the November Revolution depending on which calender is used the Empire of Russia was renamed the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic. Later, in 1922, it joined with Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation to form the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR or Soviet Union.
"Russia" was never simply renamed the Soviet Union.

Technically speaking, no one ever set up a communist state as Karl Marx defined communism. Vladimir Lenin, after the October Russian Revolution, set up a socialist state in Russia, expecting that at some time in the future it would become a true communist state. It was referred to as a communist state because he had the name of the Bolshevik Party changed to the Communist Party in 1918.
No, Vladimir Lenin was the Soviet state's first Marxist leader.
