Lenin was canonically an ally of the assassins. Stalin was a templar puppet though, and the templars were actually the ones behind the purges

it's kinda endearing what ubisoft let their writers get up to in the early days. Now it's just succdem marx and silly socrates

Yeah, while the series has always been super confused politically I remember one of the early games implied the Assassins were fighting for left wing governments in Central/South America which you'd never get in an AC game nowadays.
