38 percent of Russians said his influence had been "mostly positive."After all, Lenin and the Bolsheviks did completely uproot and destroy semi-feudal Tsarism. Which can't have been a bad thing. A bit like Cromwell here. Nothing to do with socialism, either of them, of course but with clearing the way for the progress of capitalism.
Maybe you credit him too much. When the social revolution swept Russia and the factories and landed estates were appropriated in the February Revolution, Lenin was in Switzerland and by the time he returned, he was too busy trying to catch up with the events and the only things the Bolsheviks appropriated were other parties slogans.
