Lenin
Today marks the anniversary of the death of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin who, as leader of the Bolshevik Party and architect of the first successful workers’ revolution, unleashed upon the world a new kind of tyranny that substituted dynastical despots for proletarian despots.

I was at first disappointed to see how little you had to say on Lenin. How could you only give him one sentence? But on further reflection I see (or at least I think I do) what you were trying to do. And I can’t argue that your single sentence pretty much nails it.
you must have a lot of money for your future generations!congratulations!
