description The article is dedicated to portraying a literary-psychological aspect of creating the eponymous character of the novel by Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski, Lenin (1930), that is, the famous Soviet leader, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. The novel’s creation of the character described by Ossendowski was confronted with its incarnation in other twentieth-century literary works by the following authors: Curzio Malaparte ([Legend of Lenin] 1930), Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Lenin in Zürich 1975) and Mikhail Zoshchenko ([Stories About Lenin] 1940), as well as biographical works by Diane Ducret ([Dictators’ Women] 2011) and Dmitri Volkogonov ([Lenin. A Prophet of Heaven, An Apostle of Hell] 1997). The analysis includes references to contemporary psychological theories. In the work of Ossendowski, Lenin is a character consciously created as a complex personality, full of internal conflicts, captive to his Communist ideology obsession.
