Lenin was a Marxist, as were his successors. He had a vision of making the Soviet Union a country where everyone will be equal, earning the same amount of money, everything will be available to everyone, the country to be self-sustainable. While this may seem as a nice idea, in practice in turned the total opposite. The Soviet Union became one huge concentration camp where around 30 million people lost their lives because they had another political opinion, belong to certain ethnic group, and were people that had it better and succeeded in life. The people were poor, often suffering from malnutrition because of the misjudged planning of the high officials. The economy was not in good condition and was developing very slowly. The country was ruled by a dictator that used violence in order to sort all the problems.
