Lennin definitely had a lot of people killed… but I don’t think he ‘relished’ it the way Stalin did.
I see Saxi as a person who’d ‘get off’ on it…. more like a Stalin.
We can probably find some Pope from the Middle Ages that would fit the bill?
Do you mean Lenin?
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov[b] (22 April [O.S. 10 April] 1870 – 21 January 1924), better known as Vladimir Lenin,[c] was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia, and later the Soviet Union, became a one-party socialist state governed by the Communist Party. Ideologically a Marxist, his development of the ideology is known as Leninism.

In September 1918, Sovnarkom passed a decree that inaugurated the Red Terror, a system of repression orchestrated by the Cheka secret police.[261] Although sometimes described as an attempt to eliminate the entire bourgeoisie,[262] Lenin did not want to exterminate all members of this class, merely those who sought to reinstate their rule.[263] The majority of the Terror's victims were well-to-do citizens or former members of the Tsarist administration;[264] others were non-bourgeois anti-Bolsheviks and perceived social undesirables such as prostitutes.[265] The Cheka claimed the right to both sentence and execute anyone whom it deemed to be an enemy of the government, without recourse to the Revolutionary Tribunals.[266] Accordingly, throughout Soviet Russia the Cheka carried out killings, often in large numbers.[267] For example, the Petrograd Cheka executed 512 people in a few days.[268] There are no surviving records to provide an accurate figure of how many perished in the Red Terror;[269] later estimates of historians have ranged between 10,000 and 15,000,[270] and 50,000 to 140,000.[271]

Caused in part by a drought, the Russian famine of 1921–22 was the most severe that the country had experienced since the year 1603, resulting in around five million deaths, the most of any famine in Russian history.[citation needed] The famine was exacerbated by government requisitioning, as well as the export of large quantities of Russian grain.[351] To aid the famine victims, the US government established the American Relief Administration to distribute food;[352] Lenin was suspicious of this aid and had it closely monitored.
seems like a recurring Conmunist theme here
