He didn't succeed? He failed. His goal was world socialism. Piłsudski's bravery stopped him dead in his tracks, and prevented the final victory of socialism forever. Lenin, and his successors retreated to capitalism in one country. With the collapse of the USSR, Lenin has no legacy, and his dreams of a one world government is over. There's no reason to admire a failure like him; especially when his terrible ideas ruined a powerful empire with totalitarianism and permanently stunned the growth of Eastern Europe. He, along with Stalin, are the responsible for modern Russia's problems. Putin is wrong a lot of things, but it he is right - Lenin ruined everything.
If you're going to worship people, you should worship Christ, Epaminondas, Cato - those were great men because their ideas made the world a better place. Unlike Lenin.
