Leninism, the ideology named after Vladimir Ilich Lenin, is a revolutionary doctrine that shaped the course of history in Russia and beyond. As the leader of the Russian Bolsheviks, Lenin played a pivotal role in establishing communism as a political force. In iconic images captured in Moscow's Kremlin in October 1918, we see Lenin standing tall, his presence commanding attention. His vision for a socialist society was fervently expressed from rostrums like one depicted in a photograph from 1917. It was here that he rallied his comrades and ignited the flames of revolution. Gordon McLennan, an ardent communist and political activist, carried forward Lenin's legacy by championing his ideas across borders. Soviet propaganda posters celebrating May Day around 1920 showcased the enduring influence on Russian society. Through black-and-white photographs taken at various stages of his life - from Moscow to Samara to St. Petersburg - we catch glimpses of V. I. Ulyanov before he became known as Lenin. These snapshots capture moments frozen in time but carry immense historical weight. One sepia-toned photo reveals Lenin unveiling the Danton monument in Moscow during 1919—an act symbolizing his dedication to commemorating revolutionary heroes who came before him. The poster urging comrades to join collective farms exemplifies how agriculture became central to implementing Leninist principles within Soviet society during the early 1930s. As time passed and events unfolded, such as the fifth anniversary celebration of the Great Proletarian Revolution or even after his death with Olshansky's creation depicting "Everywhere, always, with us completely - Lenin, " it becomes evident that this charismatic leader left an indelible mark on history through his unwavering commitment to socialism and proletarian empowerment. Leninism continues to inspire debate among scholars and activists alike—its impact reverberating throughout generations long after its founder's passing.
