Lenin is truly one of the Great Men of history.. what he made happen was hardly an inevitability.  he had the sack to put all his chips on the table, and he won.

Andropov was the only halfway decent of those.

Comrade Lenin.

It is a shame Andropov died so early, his anti corruption reforms could have done a lot of good to shake off some of the Brezhnev era rot.

Let's see then... well, Lenin was a humourless zealot totally lacking in administrative skills so he's out, Stalin was Stalin, the pathetic Malenkov does not even belong on the list as he never really held power, Khrushchev was an idiot and a crank, Brezhnev was a deplorable old hack, as was Andropov, while Chernenko was literally a battery operated corpse. Stalin was certainly the most interesting of all of them, but, again, he was also Stalin.
