The Communist Party of India ( CPI ) ( Bhratya Kamyunis Pr ) is a communist party in India . In the Indian Communist movement , there are different views on exactly when the Communist Party of India was founded . But the date maintained as the foundation day by the CPI is 26 December 1925 . However , the Communist Party of India ( Marxist ) , which separated from the CPI , has a different version that it was founded in 1925 . A communist party is a political party that advocates the application of the social and economic principles of communism through state policy . The name originates from the 1848 tract " Manifesto of the Communist Party " by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels . According to Leninist theory , a Communist party is the vanguard party of the working class ( proletariat ), whether ruling or non - ruling , but when such a party is in power in a specific country , the party is said to be the highest authority of the dictatorship of the proletariat . Vladimir Lenin ' s theories on the role of a Communist party were developed as the early 20th - century Russian social democracy divided into Bolshevik ( meaning "" of the majority "") and Menshevik ( meaning " of the minority ") factions . Lenin , leader of the Bolsheviks , argued that a revolutionary party should be a small vanguard party with a centralized political command and a strict cadre policy ; the Menshevik faction , however , argued that the party should be a broad - based mass movement . The Bolshevik party , which eventually became the Communist Party of the Soviet Union , took power in Russia after the October Revolution in 1917 . With the creation of the Communist International , the Leninist concept of party building was copied by emerging Communist parties worldwide . The October Revolution , officially known in the Soviet literature as the Great October Socialist Revolution , and commonly referred to as ___MASK68___ October , the October Uprising or the Bolshevik Revolution , was a seizure of state power instrumental in the larger Russian Revolution of 1917 . It took place with an armed insurrection in Petrograd on 25 October ( 7 November , New Style ) 1917 . The ___MASK81___ of Bengal , the largest ___MASK81___ in the world , forms the northeastern part of the Indian Ocean . Roughly triangular , it is bordered mostly by India and Sri Lanka to the west , Bangladesh to the north , and Myanmar ( Burma ) and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands ( India ) to the east . Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov , better known by the alias Lenin (  21 January 1924 ), was a Russian communist revolutionary , politician , and political theorist . He served as head of government of the Russian Republic from 1917 to 1918 , of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic from 1918 to 1924 , and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924 . Under his administration , Russia and then the wider Soviet Union became a one - party socialist state governed by the Russian Communist Party . Ideologically a Marxist , he developed political theories known as Leninism . Born to a wealthy middle - class family in Simbirsk , Lenin embraced revolutionary socialist politics following his brother ' s execution in 1887 . Expelled from Kazan Imperial University for participating in protests against the Russian Empire ' s Tsarist regime , he devoted the following years to a law degree . He moved to Saint Petersburg in 1893 and became a senior figure in the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party ( RSDLP ). In 1897 , he was arrested for sedition and exiled to Shushenskoye for three years , where he married Nadezhda Krupskaya . After his exile , he moved to Western Europe , where he became a prominent party theorist through his publications . In 1903 , he took a key role in a RSDLP ideological split , leading the Bolshevik faction against Julius Martov ' s Mensheviks . Encouraging insurrection during Russia ' s failed Revolution of 1905 , he later campaigned for the First World War to be transformed into a Europe - wide proletarian revolution , which as a Marxist he believed would cause the overthrow of capitalism and its replacement with socialism . After the 1917 February Revolution ousted the Tsar and established a Provisional Government , he returned to Russia to play a leading role in the October Revolution , in which the Bolsheviks overthrew the new regime . Lenin ' s government was led by the Bolsheviks  now renamed the Communist Party  with some powers initially also held by elected soviets . The new government called elections for the Constituent Assembly and then abolished it , withdrew from the First World War by signing a treaty with the Central Powers , and granted independence to non - Russian nations under Russian control . It redistributed land among the peasantry and nationalised banks and large - scale industry . Opponents were suppressed in the ___MASK68___ Terror , a violent campaign orchestrated by the state security services ; tens of thousands were killed and others interned in concentration camps . Anti - Bolshevik armies , established by both right and left - wing groups , were defeated in the Russian Civil War from 1917 to 1922 . Responding to wartime devastation , famine , and popular uprisings , in 1921 Lenin promoted economic growth through a mixed economic system . Seeking to promote world revolution , Lenin ' s government created the Communist International , waged the Polish  Soviet War , and united Russia with neighbouring nations to form the Soviet Union in 1922 . In increasingly poor health , Lenin expressed opposition to the growing power of his successor , Joseph Stalin , before dying at his Gorki mansion . Widely considered one of the most significant and influential figures of the 20th century , Lenin was the posthumous subject of a pervasive personality cult within the Soviet Union until its dissolution in 1991 . He became an ideological figurehead behind Marxism - Leninism and thus a prominent influence over the international communist movement . A controversial and highly divisive individual , Lenin is viewed by Marxist - Leninists as a champion of socialism and the working class , while critics on both the left and right see him as the founder of a totalitarian dictatorship responsible for mass human rights abuses .
