Whether Lenin actually used the phrase “useful idiots,” that is, a Russian equivalent, may be difficult to pin down, as his collected works appear to number some 45 volumes plus, all several inches thick with a small font IIRC. But again, the point is moot.
If anyone would like to try to find an equivalent or similar phrase, below is a link to his collected works in English. One caveat: synonyms abound, and Lenin was obviously quite literate. Saying one didn’t find the exact phrase would prove little.
