Lenin did not lose his power in Russia as much as he became too ill to exercise it. In 1922 he suffered a serious stroke and lost some ability to speak and write. He suffered another stroke after that and was confined completely unable to communicate and was confined to a wheelchair. In that condition he actually asked for someone to give him poison so he could die, but no one could bring himself to do that. In 1924 he suffered a massive stroke that killed him. Had Lenin not had the debilitating strokes he would have remained in power.
