jan 5, 1895 - Lenin
Description:
Lenin started out as a lawyer and first became more involved in politics when he went to Western Europe to meet with some marxists. After the Revolution of 1905 Lenin realized that he wasn't really a Menshevik, so he named the Bolsheviks and became their leader. Then in 1822 he started the Soviet Union after being head of government of Soviet Russia for seven years. When he died, the Union was taken over by Stalin.
