the USSR was an internationalist project, a group of several nations, and specifically Lenin carried out the October revolution on the (unfortunately mistaken) idea that the other European nations would soon fall to similar revolutions. Communism is an internationalist ideology, not a nationalist ideology. "Communism in one country" was a result of specific conditions imposed from the outside by capitalist imperialism, not the end goal.
Probably more to do with the fact that Lenin defended the right to nationalism and wrote extensively against people who thought that nationalism was bad in any capacity.
