Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (Russian: Владимир Ильич Ленин), born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Russian: Владимир Ильич Ульянов) was a Russian communist revolutionary and politician.
Although he is mentioned in the Red Alert series, he only appears as a statue erected in place of the Statue of Liberty at the end of the Soviet campaign in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. Lenin is furthermore mentioned by the captain of the Dreadnought, who implies that Lenin would feel pride seeing the Soviet Union's largest warship.

His faction Bolshevik's (literally, Majority), who voted for building Communist state within Russia, won over Menshevik's (literally, Minority), that stood for Trotskysm, that promoted building World International and "permanent Revolution" in every country. He led Communist Russia and Red Army through the subsequent brutal Civil War against West-supported Liberals and pro-Emperial White Movement (with many White officiers and soldiers switching to Red Army) and in 1922 declared and became the first leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which was immediately sanctioned by the West. He continued to struggle for the cause of Communism until his death in 1924.
