All entirely different. Yes, at their core they are still Marxist (or claim to be), but the implementation is entirely different.
Leninism meandered around because none of them knew what they were doing once they won the Revolution. Essentially a "We won! Oh hey, running a giant nation is way harder than we thought."
Stalin was the iron hand who killed everyone who was inconvenient, then established a unique form of Nationalist Bolshevism.
Mao did all of those things, but added an ethno-genocidal twist... and then killed everyone else who was inconvenient. Many times over.
Matthew Raphael Johnson has a podcast where he goes deep into the weeds of the history of Marxism. Just do a search for a particular topic and chances are good that he did a show on it with more information than you ever wanted to know. He is definitely /ourguy/, so it isn't some sort of commie propaganda.
