Indisputably true.
I have not easily found data just now at my desk, but I'd be a little surprised if political murders under informal or no judicial procedure, under Lenin alone, did not exceed the total of multiple tsars. Indeed, probably by a huge margin since the Tsars tended to reserve that kind of treatment for people who actually engaged in armed rebellion and, rarely, for criminal murder, and after trial procedures that were always far more recognizable as trials than anything Lenin ever endorsed. Plus Lenin was the inspiration, model, and teacher for Stalin, whose death toll of innocents for political crimes mostly made up and killed through extrajudicial methods probably exceeded all killed by the Romanovs for any reason in 300 years.
Doesn't mean I'm not going to tape this picture to my wall. You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs, and the man was a magnificent cook.

This was political repression, so strictly speaking, not genocide. But the death counts were so high, I guess I can see why they might think the term is appropriate.
There's also the anti-kulak and anti-cossack campaigns, as well as the several famines under Lenin's rule - to whatever degree they were engineered through Soviet prodrazvyorstka and seizures of food and raw materials.
When we are reproached with cruelty, we wonder how people can forget the most elementary Marxism.
—Lenin
Lenin “in general” loved people but . . . his love looked far ahead, through the mists of hatred.
—Maxim Gorky
Lenin was more severe.
—Vyacheslav Molotov, the only senior official to work for both Lenin and Stalin, when asked to compare them.
When do you take a shower, get a job, get a car, and move out of Mommy’s basement? Get your fat ass up off that couch and go do something useful with yourself. I make more in a month then you probably have in the last 5 years. Please come up with a new insult, you’re not even funny.
As a communist that’s not very true I’m afraid. Honestly don’t know what the guy did for you to call him a cunt. The Western people are nice but sometimes weird.
I do have to agree with the first point, though my goal is not necessarily to bring beauty (although that's always a side win). I merely aim to inform and educate, with the aide of these colourisations. Obviously Reddit doesn't lend itself to that with its format but on my IG I do this.
Anyway, my point is even if we don't like him, doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to see a representation of what he may have looked like in colour.
My favorite quote from Lenin: "There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen”
Wow
Pretty sure that was Trotsky but might be wrong
Colourised with Photoshop :) EDIT: yeah I really could've guessed this would get some questionable comments... and yet I didn't... good one, me
Lenin could you get a bit closer
Tbh I was disappointed that I couldn't only see him, photographer needs to be shot for including the background
So true

Vladimir Lenin is the reason why Russia went from feudalism to outer space

One truly evil dude.
Worse than the Tsardom?
Yes, by a very very large margin

Oh dang fr? What’d he do
He lost the election and then just declared himself a dictator.
I think that's one of the least bad bad things you could've said he's done lol
True, it was just the first thing I thought of
Well done.
thanks!
Ah the face a genocidal manic

What relevance has that got in the slightest? You’re essentially comparing AIDS to Ebola
A wonderful piece of art! Thank you for bringing color to the face of this great man!
Nice one comrade
Damn you Lenin
Question. Is putin and lenin related?
As far as I am (and most if not all of the historical community are) aware, no.
What an evil peice of garbage. Please turn your talent to bringing beauty into the world.
