I do not believe there have even been idealists of the sort Lenin thought he was describing. There has never been a philosopher or philosphical movement that held the belief that nothing exists outside the human mind.
I personally think that both materialism and idealism are incoherent doctrines, although the latter makes marginally more sense.
