How did lenin adapt marxism to conditions in russia

Explanation:

In Western Europe, Most of socialists activists believed that socialism could be achieved through a consistent moderate reforms that help poor people in their country such as setting up minimum wages, increased suffrage, and government funded welfare programs.

Lenin believed that this couldn't be achieved in Russia since government had a very weak influence over business owners,. Because of this, he believed that setting up a dictatorship of the proletariat is the only way Marxism could be achieved.
