LENIN:
Vladimir Ulanov, or Vladimir Lenin, as he came to be known, was one of the Left-Wing's most controversial leaders. A radical revolutionary, Lenin was a member of the Bolshevik faction of socialism. The Bolsheviks were staunch, conservative communist fundamentalists who believed in violent revolution. He took Marx' ideas to the next level by overthrowing the Russian Empire, himself emerging as dictator of the new communist regime. Though criticised for his extreme beliefs and autocratic tendancies as a ruler, he opened up a "New Deal" with peasants alowing them to sell grain on the open market, something that laid the groudwork for social democracy and "New Left" ideas.
