[Marxism] What did Lenin learn from Hegel?

["Ruthless Critic of All that Exists" <ok.president+marxml@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's my understanding that in the early years of the 20th century
Lenin invested time and effort into reading Hegel and was deeply
influenced.

Now, I had always thought that Marx had "corrected" Hegel (stood Hegel
on his head), and all that was important in Hegel was, therefore,
already in Marx.
I tried reading Hegel a couple of years ago and found it hard going
and not very useful, it seemed to me, for political purposes....

So, my question is: why did Lenin turn to Hegel? And what (if
anything) did he find in Hegel that he didn't find in Marx?

Thanks,

RC
