The Similarities Between Lenin And Stalin's Policies

During the turbulent years in which Lenin had passed, his significance still continued to dominate Russian politics. One clear example of this was his funeral as party members were afraid to read his testimony as it would make themselves look unpopular. This showed that even in death, Lenin’s words still held weight making him extremely significant. Furthermore, many of Lenin’s early policies such as his feminist policies continued to persist through Stalin’s administration as the USSR was the first country to have female pilots and female snipers. Lastly, we can see similarities in both Lenin and Stalin’s policies. For example, Stalin had copied some of Lenin’s “War Communism” as Stalin’s “Collectivization” advocated requisitioning of grain.
