closed to Jews so both Israel and Abel were baptised into the Russian
Orthodox Church. Israel was given the new name of Alexander, his
brother Abel became Dmitri. Alexander's patronymic also became Dmitri
(it was actually Moses). In this way, they were both allowed to enter the
Medical Academy. The Blank brothers graduated in 1824. Alexander
Blank became a military staff doctor and a pioneer of balneology (the
study of healthy baths) in Russia.
The writer Marietta Shaginyan, who in the 1930s learned about Lenin's
Jewish roots, was warned not to make this information public, for it was a
state secret. (The periodical Literator, No. 38, 12th of September 1990, St.
Petersburg.) It was possible to publish these facts only in 1990. Until then
the Blank family had been presented as "Germans".
Lenin's mother spoke Yiddish, German and also Swedish, the latter of
which she taught her daughter Olga, who intended to study at the
University of Helsinki. Maria Blank's maternal grandmother was called
Anna Beata Ostedt, born in St. Petersburg in a family of goldsmiths who
had immigrated from Uppsala (Sweden). Maria Blank's maternal grand-
father, the notary Johann-Gottlieb Grosschopf, came from a family of
merchants in Germany. Maria Blank's paternal grandparents were Jews.
Lenin's paternal grandfather was a Chuvashian and his paternal grand-
mother, Anna Smirnova, was a Kalmuck.
This made Maria Blank at least half Jewish, for only her father was a
full Jew. Hans W. Levy, chairman of the Jewish community of Gothen-
burg, has declared: "Everyone who was born of a Jewish mother is a Jew."
(Svenska Dagbladet, 22nd of July, 1990.) Some researchers, however,
have intimated that also the Grosschopf family was Jewish. If so, Lenin
must be regarded as a Jew, for then his mother was a Jewess.
In Russia, it was revealed that Lenin's paternal grandfather Nikolai
Ulyanov (Kalmuck) had four children with his own daughter Alexandra
Ulyanova (who was disguised as Anna Smirnova before the authorities).
Lenin's father Ilya was born as the fourth child when Nikolai Ulyanov was
67 years old. (Vladimir Istarkhov, "The Battle of the Russian Gods",
Moscow, 2000, p. 37.) Ilya Ulyanov married the Jewess Maria Blank,
whose paternal grandfather Moisya Blank had been prosecuted for several
crimes, including fraud and extortion. Inbreeding probably played a big
role in making Vladimir Ulyanov-Lenin so perverted: his extreme
aggressiveness was hereditary and he was born with substantial brain
