Vladimir Lenin served as the head of the USSR during the period 1917-1924, in the early years of the Soviet Union.

Vladimir Lenin, born in 1870 and passing away in 1924, is celebrated as the founder of the Bolshevik Communist party and a pivotal figure in world history. He rose to prominence as the leader of the Russian Revolution of 1917, playing a critical role in the establishment of the USSR (Soviet Union) during the tumultuous period following the revolution, which lasted from 1917 to 1924. Lenin was not only a charismatic leader but also an exceptional thinker and practitioner of Marxism, a socio-political ideology that shaped his vision for a classless society. His influence extended far beyond Russia, serving as an inspiration to communists worldwide, and his legacy continues to be a subject of study and debate in the realms of history and political theory.
