Lenin did not place Stalin, stalin took over. Other than that, yes.

Lenin placed Stalin as an enforcer to do the dirty stuff for him. It would be very naive to assume Lenin didn't know the risk involved of putting a former mob gangster in such a position.

Germany send Lenin from Switzerland to Russia, Lenin helped Germany in WW1, he wasn't super smart.
