Vladimir Lenin was one of the most important members of the Bolshevik Party. The majority of the Russian Revolution and the need to implement a communist system was the responsibility of the Bolshevik Party. Once the revolution was successful, Lenin was looked to as the leader of the new communist state.
Stalin continued this communist system after Lenin was done being leader. Stalin's central planning system ensured that the Soviet Union's economy was controlled by the government, as well as the media outlets. This was especially true during World War II.

"John (“Jack”) Reed wasn’t looking backward to the French Revolution or even the Paris Commune when he chronicled the seizure of power of the Russian Revolution of 1917. As a 30-year-old independent radical journalist, he was looking at it with fresh eyes. What he saw was not just the overthrow of a repressive monarchist oligarchy and its attendant bourgeois class, but a vast democratic, majoritarian movement based on “soviets,” or councils, made up of workers, soldiers, and peasants. Although he had been embedded in Pancho Villa’s rebel army in Mexico and covered Industrial Workers of the World strikes in New Jersey and miners’ struggles in Colorado, it was witnessing the cataclysmic events in Russia that confirmed him as a revolutionary."-Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed
