Answer 1

The statement that best analyzes the challenges Lenin faced in making Russia into the USSR is:

"While Marx had argued that the communist revolution would occur from factory workers, Russia was primarily an empire of farmers."

This disconnect between Marxist theory and the actual conditions in Russia created significant obstacles for Lenin in implementing a communist regime.
