He was a Russian revolutionary, a communist politician, the main leader of the October Revolution, the first head of Soviet Russia, and the primary theorist of the ideology that has come to be called Leninism, which is a variant of Marxism.

Lenin, originally named Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov, was born in Simbirsk on April 22, 1870, the son of a successful government official. The first breach in Lenin's comfortable childhood came in 1887, when the police arrested and hanged his elder brother for plotting to assassinate Tsar Alexander III. Later that year Lenin enrolled in the Kazan'= University (now Kazan State University), but he was quickly expelled as a radical troublemaker and exiled to his grandfather's estate in the village of Kokushkino.

Vladimir Lenin Lenin gained political stature through his writings and then as head of the Bolshevik party. He led the 1917 Bolshevik takeover of the provisional government, which had governed Russia since the fall of tsarist rule a few months earlier. After becoming dictator, Lenin set a slow course towards socialism, waiting until domestic and foreign conflicts were resolved before initiating most of his revolutionary economic policies.
During this first exile (1887-1888) Lenin became acquainted with the classics of European revolutionary thought, notably Karl Marx's Das Kapital, and he soon considered himself a Marxist. Finally granted the necessary permission, he passed his law examinations in 1891, was admitted to the bar, and worked as a lawyer for the poor in the Volga town of Samara before moving to St Petersburg in 1893.

Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky were the "leaders" of the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. He overthrew the russian government and instilled Communism in the country. Some information is located here: http://www.thenagain.info/WebChron/EastEurope/OctRev.html

Also, type Bolshevik revolution into a serch engine (Yahoo!) would work and see what else you find.
