What if Lenin had kids?

If Lenin by 1903 had a child , how would the power struggle would have ended , do u think he stood a chance against Stalin , Trotsky and the others ?
 
Lenin never struck me as a fan of nepotism, so he'd liable to force his son to have to earn his place in the party. Assuming the kid wanted it. I rather doubt he would be the type to be a good father figure, what with being a humorless workaholic. He'd probably wind up estranged from his kids.
 
My own guess is that Lenin's children get honorable but minor jobs (especially connected with libraries, museums, etc. related to their father's memory). None of the Bolshevik leaders will want a Lenin dynasty.

Will they be purged by Stalin? Doubtful. None of Lenin's surviving siblings (Dmitry, Anna, Maria) were purged in OTL, and Krupskaya died a free woman, despite her involvement with the Opposition in the 1920's...

None of the children of the Bolshevik inner circle went into politics, and if In the Court of the Red Tsar is to be believed, none of the Bolsheviks wanted them to.
