Who was the first Communist Party leader of the Soviet Union after the Revolution 1917?
I think it’s Vladimir Lenin, the one who led the October Revolution in 1917. He revolutionized the then Russian Provisional Government, which was very short-lived after the abdication of the tsar and the overthrowing of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. The leader of the 1905 revolution was Georgy Lvov, I think, and he was overthrown himself by Lenin, who went on to lead the Bolshevik party in ruling Russia until his death in 1924. The new leader after Lenin was the man of steel, Joseph Stalin, who drew out the iron curtain after the second world war and formally plunged the world into the cold war.
