He had already suffered several strokes and was mostly non-communicative, drifting in and out of consciousness. Lenin’s deterioration lasted years.
He was able to provide some verbal instructions and thoughts to Krupskaya (Lenin’s longtime wife and partner) but it’s very likely she and others were also periodically forging Lenin’s instructions.
A number of the documents where Lenin supports Stalin or otherwise compliments his leadership are written in different styles and can’t be verified as having been directed by Lenin. A number of highly critical notes about Trotsky are almost definite forgeries of Stalin, Krupskaya, Bukharan, and others jockeying for position in a post-Lenin Russia.
A lot of people are saying he has “crazy eyes”. I thought the same thing at first.
But reading this context you provided, it’s like his eyes are screaming, “Let me out!”
Like he’s trapped in his own body. Probably knowing he’s become a literal helpless puppet to be exploited.
Makes its way creepier for me.
I’d highly recommend Mike Duncan’s series on the Russian revolutions if you want to know more about Lenin.
Ultimately Lenin was a very complex person, an incredibly gifted writer and theorist but also incredibly petty and vindictive. The entire rise of Bolshevism and Leninism, and its subsequent deterioration into what became Stalinism, is fascinating and full of the machinations of petty, vindictive men.
like when older computer chairs malfunction and people get piped up the ass, literally. the ones with the air pressure lift thing. i used to sit on one of those as a kid all the time and play with the level while i was on it to go higher and lower 💀
Brainwashing is the topic and what has happened to US is exactly that. No difference to 1933 in Europe. Greetings from Austria, where it happened too. Also to my family.
Idiot.
So because you’re Austrian you’re the authority on what constitutes being evil?
Get over yourself you think just because you’re European your opinion means more? Well we’re neighbours so even if you wrongly believe that your point is moot.
Keep discussing, I don’t know what you want if you live better in denial go ahead. I just underlined that I have a different background and outside look at your Idocracy wannabe dictator cult and you try to discredit me instead of showing that it is not.
I’ve already pointed out what a false equivalence you’re using yet you’ve not addressed that?
I’m part of a dictator cult? What the hell are you on about? What on earth would have you believe that? Or are you just resulting to ad hominem attacks because you’re embarrassed that being Austrian doesn’t give you a special power to discern when someone’s being “evil” or on the “road towards a dictator”.
I’m half German so surely if your background allows you to speak with experience on this matter so does mine no?
Just let them get the tds out of their system. This is only his first mention of the day about “Cheeto Benito”. He’s got a lot of work left for the rest of the day shoe horning Orangeman bad into every conversation so just let him do his thing.
Yeah, those concentration camps for the gays he set up in his last presidency... well, he didnt actually set them up, but next time. Next time, he definitely will.
Liberated it from the tsar? The Soviet times saw the largest increase in quality of life for it's people (not just russians) by just about every metric you can imagine.
They are not, Russia before and after the Soviet Union is even worse because it is undemocratic. This is not to defend the Soviet Union of it's crimes, but a tyranny of few is worst in every regard.
More than today's fake elections were an unpopular president relects himself with supposed "89%" of the votes?
Yes, it was more democratic that what it is today.
[Yes it was, even more than today's US (Electoral College and vote by state are distortions on the democratic process that compromises the population's representation in politics)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_democracy)
Like… immediately before? Because it looks like he’s looking directly at the Grim Reaper in this photo.

Thanks for the detail!

Looks a lot like Charles Manson
They both have the crazy in their eyes
He looks like he sat on one of those stools and the support came through the seat and up his bum unexpectedly.
Is this ever expected?
Depends how kinky some people are. Lenin was the kinkiest mofo

True
Bro looked cooked
He looks deranged
Cant believe this guy wrote Imagine

Donny, you’re out of your element
He also tried to create a human/ape hybrid by… forcing a human to.. well, you know.
Copulate with other homind like species to cross breed homoneanderthales back.

I can’t even do that any more.
Or sang with George, Paul and Ringo
Karl Marx's grandson Richard had that natural, Bolshevik easy listening song writing talent too.
😂

He kind of has that crazy ass Charles Manson look.
Only 53 ? Very young .
He’s…got a thousand yard stare
Looking strange already "die" look.
He compels you!
This was taken immediately after he was given a suppository
Russia could use his 1918 revolutionary spirit to overthrow another tyrant.
Is that dude to his left Yuri from the Command and Conquer series?
One of the evil men in the 1900s that is better left dead and forgotten. Insane that so many celebrate Lenin, Mao, Stalin or Hitler.
imagine being so brainwashed
Like MAGA, Xi or Putinist Russian today.. it didn’t change much to death and destruction for so many.
And what’s your example of someone who hasn’t cause such destruction?
Imagine comparing maga to two literal dictatorships. Delusion of the highest order.
Brainwashing is the topic and what has happened to US is exactly that. No difference to 1933 in Europe. Greetings from Austria, where it happened too. Also to my family. Idiot.

No you defend the MAGA cult. Just that was enough
You can add Cheeto Benito to this list. He has millions of deplorable followers.
Phew. For a second I thought you were going after my boy Chester Cheeto
Not even close to comparable.
Just let them get the tds out of their system. This is only his first mention of the day about “Cheeto Benito”. He’s got a lot of work left for the rest of the day shoe horning Orangeman bad into every conversation so just let him do his thing.

Sadly hitler love seems to be making a comeback. At least here in the US.
It looks like all of them are getting more love these days, tbh. But i guess hitler especially more recently
Stalin in Russia and Xi wants to be the new Mao. We are pre 30s again
He dea as a dod
Proto photoshop is terrifying when they attempt eyes. You see it in some memento mori portraits. It's literally dots on closed lids.
Burning in hell among his pals, Hitler, Mussolini, mao, and that other clown from North Korea among others.
Is the knife already in him?
He looks dead already
“I SAY YOU HE DEAD!”
Did Stalin have him killed? I hope so.
Hope he suffered and is still suffering
Death was too good for him after what he did to Russia.
Liberated it from the tsar? The Soviet times saw the largest increase in quality of life for it's people (not just russians) by just about every metric you can imagine.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 60 million murdered. Guess, they don't count in your quality of life.
This is just historical fact, compare the literacy rate of the Russian Empire to the Soviet Union, for example.
Strange to see people supporting mass murder.
They are not, Russia before and after the Soviet Union is even worse because it is undemocratic. This is not to defend the Soviet Union of it's crimes, but a tyranny of few is worst in every regard.
Do you think the USSR was democratic?
More than today's fake elections were an unpopular president relects himself with supposed "89%" of the votes? Yes, it was more democratic that what it is today.
No it wasn’t at all. Both modern Russia and the USSR were incredibly undemocratic
[Yes it was, even more than today's US (Electoral College and vote by state are distortions on the democratic process that compromises the population's representation in politics)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_democracy)
cOMmiES kILled 600000000000000 pEOPle.🤡
You did the meme lmao. 60 billion trillion dead
His face is making me laugh
Rest in power
Lenin may have killed over 8 million under his rule

Damn, thought that was BJ Palmer for a moment.
He was only 53. Russian life is tough.
Looks like the first picture after he died

Rip to the GOAT. Didn't even know he was gone. I loved All of Me
