Which tactic did vladimir lenin not employ following the russian revolution?

a suppression of religion

b elimination of political enemies

c expansion of democracy

d government takeover of land and factories

The correct answer is  (C) expansion of democracy.
 
The reason why is that after the Revolution, Lenin worked to establish the Soviet state. In it, religion was suppressed (they seized church property as part of their actions), began arresting the leaders of opposition parties, and nationalized banks and factories handing control over to the Soviet system.
