“One man with a gun can control 100 without one.”
― Vladimir Lenin
Lenin was a communist revolutionary who brought about the end of the 300-year Romanov Dynasty in Russia. After defeating anti-communist forces in a bloody civil war, he established the Soviet Union, which he ruled from 1917 to 1924. Although his reputation is relatively intact, both inside Russia and among leftists worldwide, the body count from his seven years in power exceeds Genghis Khan’s.
