Lenin faced many struggles after the civil war. One thing that led into Lenin’s problems was with communism and him being unsure to secure a solitary economic policy for Russia. For a short time, the Bolsheviks were very unpopular. Other nations were against what he was trying to make Russia into but they were not opposed to the Bolsheviks. Lenin wanted to try and make Russia communist. He did this by being violent but not as violent as Stalin. He was trying to make everyone equal but the capitalist world was afraid that their own citizens would apply communism and revolt against them.
After Lenin died, Stalin and Trotsky took over some of the power that was left by Lenin. The two were in charge of different things. Stalin took care of propaganda and public relations whereas Trotsky was the Military leader. One of their main fights was between “guns or butter”. Trotsky deported because Stalin came out on top. Though Stalin was a harsh leader and killer, he ultimately lead Russia to an economical powerhouse.
