Lenin didn't return to Russia by himself to overthrow the czar. He was returned to Russia by the Germans after the February revolution saw the overthrow of the Romanov family and is replacement by the provisional government, which kept Russia in the war.
You said popular Russian name Lena (Elena) like other popular Russian name Lina (Elina), but these are different names, in fact, you should have said exactly the same as you pronounced the Siberian river Lena (there was the correct pronunciation of that name). Litteraly L'ena, Yel'ena or Lehna, Yelehna.

Lenins will arise only in "hard times make strong men" phase. The future Lenin is prolly now 14 or 15. We were living in "good times make weak men" phase since WW2 in both USA and USSR. The Teddy's and the Lenin's are getting primed for the next 2 decades or so don't worry.
Lenin, wherever he is probably wishes for that. Unlike his wife, I'm sure ScarJo isn't opposed to giving up her cheeks. Lenin's wife wasn't too keen on giving it up much to his dislike. Stalin managed to find the time to bust cheeks as Yakov, Vasily and Svetlana were all living proof of his cheek busting.
Actually his name was Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, and Ilyich means he's a son of Ilya. Ulyanov is just a family surname. idk why he took the nickname Lenin, but I know Stalin (whose real name was also different) means "of steel".
There is..... People with the surname "Ulyanov". Funny enough, there is another second person named himself "Vladimir Ulyanov". Although this person wasn't related and not much information about him, this person born in 1963 was a Russian Army officer and the Hero of Russia who died in 2003. Also, what Olga Ulyanova said was right. Because before Lenin's death, Lenin actually wanted to be burried with his mother. Yet for some reason, Stalin ordered Lenin's body to be mummified instead of fulfilling Lenin's last will to be burried with his mother. Guess this explains why Nadezhda Krupskaya hates Joseph Stalin so much.

I would want to know what Russia could be if it didn't go into communism. It might have been better, or it might have lose. But one could only speculate, since we don't have time machine now.
Another example of what a crook Lenin was; In 1917 after overthrowing the regime he organized elections as promised, fully expecting to win. When he lost the elections however he disassembled the government and grabbed power for the soviets.
I'm not a Russian speaker but according to Google Translate, "Leni" means Lazy. Stali means steel and Stalin mean Steel man, so Lenin would mean Lazy Man, right?
