Vladimir Lenin on Benito Mussolini

← Back to Vladimir Lenin Profile
What a waste that we lost Mussolini. He is a first-rate man who would have led our party to power in Italy.
Vladimir Lenin
Mussolini was the only one among you with the mind and temperament to make a revolution. Why did you allow him to leave?
Vladimir Lenin
In Italy, comrades, in Italy there was but a Socialist able enough to lead the people through a revolutionary path, Benito Mussolini.
