# Vladimir Lenin · the top man of the 1920s

*Decade of 1911–1920 — TOP MAN OF THE WORLD.*

## Why number one
The October Revolution (1917) remade a sixth of the world.

## The margin
By the rule of the board, **Vladimir Lenin is exactly +50.495495% more right than number ten** — who, this decade, was **Woodrow Wilson**. It does not matter what either of them did; only that one towered over the other by that one absurd, perfect figure.

## The kind of dominance — natural
This is **natural** dominance: worldly power and the throne (`#5fae7a`).
