Serving as the first head of government for Soviet Russia (1917-1924) and the Soviet Union (1922-1924), Lenin implemented socialist policies, leading to the establishment of a one-party state under the Communist Party.Lenin's life journey included his early involvement in revolutionary politics, expulsion from Kazan Imperial University, and subsequent pursuit of a law degree. He became a prominent Marxist activist in Saint Petersburg and, after facing arrest and exile, emerged as a key figure in the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. Lenin's leadership in the Bolshevik faction during the ideological split of 1903 marked a significant chapter.Following the events of the 1917 February Revolution and the subsequent October Revolution, Lenin's Bolshevik government took charge, shaping the course of Russian history. The administration initiated land redistribution, nationalized key sectors, and withdrew from World War I through a treaty. The Red Terror, a state-driven violent campaign, and victories in the Russian Civil War underscored Lenin's leadership.Despite facing challenges such as famine and uprisings, Lenin's administration adopted the New Economic Policy in 1921 to spur economic growth. Lenin's health declined, and he passed away in Gorki in 1924, with Joseph Stalin succeeding him.This commemorative coin serves as a tangible piece of history from the Soviet Union, encapsulating the legacy of Vladimir Lenin.
