Some oddities. Seems to be a largely pro-Lenin narrative, rather than anti-, or neutral as mandated. I do not know who the "traditional" Marxists are that think Lenin deviated from Marxism.
I'd like to know why Lenin's gramophone recording against anti-Semitism was suppressed. Given what Russia was, I'm guessing few copies would be sold. There is remarkable objectivity about the Red Terror, an object of controversy in the discussion of this entry. Oddly, though, there is less controversy over the article than I would have expected, from either those who hate Lenin or those whol still feel the need to lie on behalf of the USSR.
