A century after the Russian Revolution, the influence of its leader Vladimir Lenin has waned but his image remains on monuments built across the former Soviet Union as part of a cult of personality.
Lenin was born in 1870 and became one of the 20th century’s most important leaders as the revolution inspired by Karl Marx transformed Russia and influenced Socialists around the world for decades.
