Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 519-547) and index. Summary:  "A biography of one of the most significant figures of the twentieth century. In Russia to this day Lenin inspires adulation. Brought up in comfort and with a passion for hunting and fishing, chess, and the English classics, Lenin was radicalized after the execution of his brother in 1887. Sebestyen traces the story from Lenin's early years to his long exile in Europe and return to Petrograd in 1917 to lead the first Communist revolution in history. Throughout Lenin's life his closest relationships were with his mother, his sisters, his wife, and his mistress. The long-suppressed story told here of the love triangle that Lenin had with his wife, Nadezhda Krupskaya, and his beautiful, married mistress and comrade, Inessa Armand, reveals a more complicated character than that of the coldly one-dimensional leader of the Bolshevik Revolution. Sebestyen brings to life the dramatic story of how Lenin seized power in a coup and ran his revolutionary state. The product of a violent, tyrannical, and corrupt Russia, he chillingly authorized the deaths of thousands of people and created a system based on the idea that political terror against opponents was justified for a greater ideal. This included his invention of Stalin, who would take Lenin's system of the gulag and the secret police to horrifying new heights. Author Victor Sebestyen was born in Budapest. He is author of Twelve Days: The Story of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Biographies.
