No, Leninism is different. Marxism-Leninism specifically was a creation of Stalin.
Marxism–Leninism was developed from Bolshevism by Joseph Stalin in the 1920s based on his understanding and synthesis of classical Marxism and Leninism.
When talking about Stalinism people often means not just that ideology but also the brutal way it was implemented and how the country was ruled
Stalinism is the means of governing and Marxist–Leninist policies implemented in the Soviet Union (USSR) from 1927 to 1953 by Joseph Stalin. It included the creation of a one-party totalitarian police state, rapid industrialization, the theory of socialism in one country (until 1939), forced collectivization of agriculture, intensification of class conflict, a cult of personality,[1][2] and subordination of the interests of foreign communist parties to those of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, deemed by Stalinism to be the leading vanguard party of communist revolution at the time.






See my other comment. I think since these two chains just repeat each other it would make sense to continue this on in just one chain. What do you think?
