It is true that Stalin was worse, but Socialists will often defend Lenin as a good guy who improved a country in crisis.

He instituted Red terror which lead to enormous amounts of torture and execution of Christians:

A Christian would have less Hell in Nazi Germany because Nazi Germany was not intrinsically Atheist and had Christian Chaplains in their military. The Soviet Union would have people put in Gulags and tortured to death on the sole basis that they were practicing Christianity (and outlawed the Bible.) . Nazis didn't do that.

(Okay, The link was not allowed so this is it:

For anyone who thinks the Soviet Union was not bad under Lenin:

""At Odessa the Cheka tied White officers to planks and slowly fed them into furnaces or tanks of boiling water; inKharkiv, scalpings and hand-flayings were commonplace: the skin was peeled off victims' hands to produce "gloves"; theVoronezh Cheka rolled naked people around in barrels studded internally with nails; victims were crucified or stoned to death atDnipropetrovsk; the Cheka at Kremenchukimpaled members of the clergy and buried alive rebelling peasants; in Orel, water was poured on naked prisoners bound in the winter streets until they became living ice statues; in Kiev, Chinese Cheka detachmentsplaced rats in iron tubes sealed at one end with wire netting and the other placed against the body of a prisoner, with the tubes being heated until the rats gnawed through the victim's body in an effort to escape.[30]
Executions took place in prison cellars or courtyards, or occasionally on the outskirts of town, during the Red Terror and Russian civil war. ...

....littered with corpses and soaked with blood. Victims killed outside the town were moved by truck, bound and gagged, to their place of execution, where they sometimes were made to dig their own graves.[31]

According to Edvard Radzinsky, "it became a common practice to take a husband hostage and wait for his wife to come and purchase his life with her body".[3] DuringDecossackization, there were massacres, according to historian Robert Gellately, "on an unheard of scale." The Pyatigorsk Cheka organized a "day of Red Terror" .....lack of a better idea," killed all the patients in the hospital..... Gellately adds that Communist leaders "sought to justify their ethnic-based massacres by incorporating them into the rubric of the 'class struggle'".[32]

Members of the clergy were subjected to particularly brutal abuse. According to documents cited by the late Alexander Yakovlev, then head of the Presidential Committee for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Political Repression, priests, monks and nuns were crucified, thrown into cauldrons of boiling tar, scalped, strangled, given Communion with melted lead and drowned in holes in the ice.[33]

I especially liked what they did to priests and nuns....surely Satan is alive and well.

"A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic." - Joseph Stalin

What is a few million peasant deaths? Just a statistic... As long as I am doing well... Who cares?
