Original Note:
Though a proverb that circulated as early as the 1870s, Lenin is not known to have ever quoted it. His successor, Joseph Stalin, is instead often misattributed to the quote, loosely paraphrasing from a memoir written by one of Stalin’s secretaries, Boris Bazhanov. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/stalin-vote-count-quote/ https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/acref/9780191843730.001.0001/q-oro-ed5-00010383
