How did Lenin's power end?

Answer 1

Lenin began to lose power on May 25, 1922, when he suffered a serious stroke which partially paralyzed his right side and temporarily cost him the ability to speak. For awhile he could no longer exercise governmental powers, leaving Joseph Stalin, Gregori Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev to run the country in his absence. He returned in September, but Stalin and others operated behind Lenin's back making governmental decisions that they did not disclose to Lenin.

On December 15, 1922, Lenin suffered another serious stroke. Stalin took this opportunity to isolate Lenin from all governmental operations under the pretense that he was helping Lenin recover by making things easy for him.

In March 1923, Lenin had his third stroke, which permanently cost him the ability to speak. He was virtually wheelchair bound and there was no doubt he would never return to power. He died on January 21, 1924.

Answer 2

Vladimir Lenin formed the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Party at the Party's Congress in Brussels in 1903. It was the only Marxist party in Russia at the time. After the February 1917 revolution, he and his Bolsheviks continued to agitate against the new Provisional Government that had assumed power when the Tsar abdicated in March 1917.

The Provisional Government failed to respond to the desires of the Russian people to get them out of World War I, stop the food shortages and give land back to the peasants. Lenin promised to do all these things, so when the PG became unpopular and lost the support of the people and even the military, the Bolsheviks swooped in in a coup now known as the October Revolution and took power from the PG and turned it over to the Soviets (councils of workers and peasants) in various cities. The Soviet councils consisted of Bolsheviks beholden to Lenin.

After the October Revolution, many Russians were dissatisfied with Bolshevik rule and the Russian Civil War broke out. The Bolsheviks created the Red Army and the more conservative dissidents became the so-called White Russians. By 1920, Lenin's Red Army had wiped out all White Army opposition and the Civil War ended with Lenin in full control, except now he was the leader of the party in control of the country instead of the party that wanted to take control of the country.

Lenin was not the typical dictator. He did not dictate terms to his followers as much as simply enthrall his supporters with his thinking, oratory and writings.

Once in control, he stamped out opposition to his Marxist policies by ruthless means using the army, his secret police and other methods. This was actually in line with Marxist principles which called for a "Dictatorship of the proletariat" after the revolution. The difference was that Marx's "dictatorship" was not a dictatorship at all; it was to be a democratic government but with the purpose of never allowing capitalism back. Lenin's purpose was not to allow anyone other Bolsheviks/Communists back into power. He banned all other political parties. Lenin's dictatorship was more autocratic than democratic, so he was able to retain his power.
