    But the whole thing about the heads of Marxism-Leninism is about ideological contribution to the theory.

    You're correct. Stalin didn't want to include himself on the banner of the Heads of Marxism-Leninism, because he himself didn't regard his work as ideological furtherments in the development of the ideology. To put it simply, he never viewed himself as an "inheritor of the mantle of Lenin" but simply as a student of Lenin.
