Communism DID do more harm than good. :)
But it DID help balance the economy...in the END.
Lenin was Russia's leader during the first World War, and he died in 1924, he had wanted Leon Trotsky to take over his place but Stalin took it first.
Although Russia was already a communist country by the time Stalin took over, Stalin made it worse, everything was pretty much "Oh, if you like me, I'll give you bread. But if you don't, then you can starve". He let many people die, even starved so many farmers and children to death since he had taken over the crops.
That's about all I can remember...

It's hard to say, russia wasn't in a terribly good state to begin with other wise they wouldn't have had an uprising.
Initially it was working out well, but then stalin got too paranoid, started taking political prisoners etc.

There is no way of telling. We don't know how the alternative would have turned out.
