Lenin himself wasn't the problem and the Statures for him are usually for being a Revolutionary and removing the Tzar.

Stalin was the actual problem.

Lenin was a counterrevolutionary that brutally suppressed any dissent and directly placed Stalin (being well aware of what a person he was) in a position that would make his later takeover possible.

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.
