There's a lot of good basic overview in Mieville's "October," and Tariq Ali's "Dilemmas of Lenin." Sadly there still isn't a definitive multi-volume biography, the way there is for Trotsky or Stalin.

In English, not sure about Russian - there have been a lot of biographies written, of course, but most of them carry a heavily anti-Communist slant from the Cold War era, especially Robert Service's. Probably the best single-volume effort was Lars Lih's, but nobody's yet had the obsession to sit down and write multiple thousand pages in the mold of Deutscher's "Prophet" trilogy, or the Kotkin Stalin.

fischers biography is good. you know that because it was slandered by both soviet union and americans when it came out during the cold war

its a blend of lenins life and the political beginnings of the soviet union
