Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov[a] (22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924), better known as Vladimir Lenin,[b] was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He was the first leader of the Soviet Union, starting when the country was created in 1922. He was also the first premier of the Soviet Union until his death.
Under Lenin's administration, Russia (and later the Soviet Union) became a one-party socialist state governed by the Communist Party. He was a Marxist, and his developments to Marxism are called Leninism.
