revolutionary honored in the former Soviet
Union as the creator of the Soviet

object of weakening Russian
war efforts, smuggled Lenin into Russia through Sweden in a sealed railway car. He seized
power in November 1917, as the result of a
successful second revolution, and ruled as virtual
dictator of the Soviet
Union until his
death in 1924.

policy or the new
coexistence policy, see, or the
