Lenin vs. Stalin

[Everyday Anarchy]

For school, we're supposed to write a Compare/Contrast essay. We got to pick our two topics, and being the little Commie I am (:P) I picked Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin.

Basically, we're just supposed to state facts about one topic, then facts about the other topic. Not actually comparing the two.

I'll be snooping around the forums and Googling all night, but if you guys have anything you could add, please post it. I need as much info about Lenin/Leninism and Stalin/Stalinism.

Thank you for the links :) They've helped.
As for Marxism vs. Stalinism, I started with Capitalism vs. Communism but my teacher said that that was too general and I should try people. So marxism and stalinism would be too general.
