Lenin, born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, was born in 1870 and is said to be of Kalmyk descent (a Mongol branch). Under Lenin's leadership, a socialist revolution was achieved in Russia and the Soviet Socialist Republic was established. Lenin died in Moscow in 1924 at the age of 54. His remains were moved to Lenin's mausoleum, where they were displayed to the public.

In 1897, the key members of the "Association for the Struggle for the Liberation of the Working Class" took a group photo in St. Petersburg. Next to Lenin was Martov, who later became the leader of the Mensheviks. Lenin had earlier been close comrades in arms with Martov, but later parted ways due to serious differences in political ideas. I have a myth that the "Association for the Liberation of the Working Class" is a thorn in the side of the Tsarist authorities, and now a group of people run to take a group photo, aren't they afraid of being served in a pot?
