Lenin has written and done more than any politician in the twentieth century. As a matter of fact, those who are familiar with the work and writings of Lenin cannot help but make him the ultimate hero of their life. Yes, things got sour after Lenin's premature death, but that in no way diminishes his place among the greatest men in the history of mankind. Nobody, absolutely nobody, has achieved what Lenin has for the emancipation of the working class in the last three centuries. He is a giant of a man, and he will always remain so no matter how much and for how long his lilliputian detractors try to discredit him.
