Widely considered one of the most significant and influential figures of the 20th century, Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (better known by his alias Lenin) served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia, and later the Soviet Union, became a one-party socialist state governed by the Soviet Communist Party. A Marxist, he developed a variant of the communist ideology known as Leninism.
