and then immediately turn into imperialistic dictatorship and start opressing your and nearby countries themselves
I don't think you know what any of those words mean in the context of political economy. None of them apply to the early USSR...
Lenin was a right wing communist of sorts, believing in national self determination (which is the reason why Ukraine exists today at all) + the USSR was created as an equal union of peoples (reflected in it's bicameral legislature) with respect and promotion of local culture and languages. (Look up Korenizatsiia, which was later unfortunately replaced with Russian chauvinism when Stalin was fully at the helm)
Many local communist parties asked for a centralised government similar to France, but the more Russian central government worried a lot about how that would be misinterpreted in terms of their image.
all these facts you describe don't make any sense considering no freedom of speech, Red Terror, and still disgusting attitude to the provinces (look up first Holodomor 1921-23)
