Who was Lenin in World War Two?

Question

I am doing an essay on the Second World War, and I was reading this article during research. This article mentions a man called Lenin, but does not give any further information. If this is of any help: This was an article on the Battle of Moscow during the Second World War.

Answer 1

Lenin was the leader of the Soviet Union from 1917 until his death in 1924, when Stalin took over.



In WWII Lenin was dead and his body preserved in his mausoleum in Red Square where it is to this day.

The city now known as St Petersburg was renamed from Petrograd to Leningrad in his honour.



Stalin was the leader of the USSR throughout WWII, including during the battle of Moscow.

Answer 2

Lenin as others have pointed out was the leader of the Bolshevik party until a failed assassination attempt led to health problems and he died in 1924.



Perhaps the person you are looking for is Stalin? He was leader of the Soviet Union during WWII and was therefore active in the defence of Moscow in 1941. If so there are plenty of sources avaialble via google for Stalin.

Answer 3

Vladimir Lenin was the man who lead the October revolution against the Czar in Russia and in 1917 help form the Soviet Union under Communist government. Lenin died in 1924. The city of Leningrad was named after him and during WWll a major battle between the Soviet army and the German army happened there with massive loss of civilian life in the city. The battle lasted 872 days. The battle of Moscow occured almost a year earlier.

Answer 6

Lenin was the leader of Russia/the USSR during and following World War One. However, he died in 1924, or some 17 years before the USSR entered WW2. Are you perhaps thinking of the Siege of Leningrad, that being the name of St. Petersburg at the time, renamed in his honour.

so not a lot, but he did start the USSR so that might have something to do with it
