Subject: About Russian leaders

The first actual leader after the abducation of the last tsar, was Vladimir Lenin, who was a revolutionary. He introduced communism to Russia, based on the ideas of Karl Marx, a German. Lenin died in bad health after a series of strokes. Josef Stalin, who worshipped Lenin, tried to tell people to do the things he wanted because "Lenin would have wanted it that way." Stalin later became the leader of Russia, in fact the most brutal. Overall, Russia has suffered from a lack of good leadership, corruption, lies, poverty, and debt.

I'm looking for information on Russia's minister of the interior Vladimir Rushailo.... if anyone has someting I can use in my class report on him could you please e-mail me.I'm looking for things like where he was born, when he was born, his political career and his connection to Putin. Also if anyone knows about him and the RUBOP I'd be interested in knowing that as well. Thanks
