"Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism" author

I believe the answer is:

lenin

(Other definitions for lenin that I've seen before include "V. I. -, Soviet politician and revolutionary" , "First Soviet leader" , "Soviet Union's first premier" , "Linen for Communist" , "Communist leader" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
