damage, he had several nervous breakdowns, three strokes and was<br />

bisexual. He was also a psychopath.<br />

German was spoken in <strong>the</strong> family, a language Vladimir Ulyanov knew<br />

better than Russian. In every questionnaire, Lenin wrote that he was a<br />

writer, yet his Russian vocabulary was very limited and in his pro-<br />

nunciation he stressed words inaccurately. He had very little knowledge <strong>of</strong><br />

Russian literature, but enough to harbour an intense dislike <strong>of</strong> Fiodor<br />

Dostoyevsky's works.<br />

It was characteristic <strong>of</strong> Lenin that he gave different information about<br />

<strong>the</strong> year <strong>of</strong> his entrance into <strong>the</strong> Party in different Party documents. In <strong>the</strong><br />

first questionnaires, he claimed to have joined in 1893, but on <strong>the</strong> 7th <strong>of</strong><br />

March 1921, at <strong>the</strong> Tenth Party Congress, he stated in <strong>the</strong> delegate's<br />

questionnaire that he had become a Party member in 1894. (Akim<br />

Arutiunov, "The Phenomenon Vladimir Ulyanov/Lenin", Moscow, 1992,<br />

p. 116.) In one <strong>of</strong> his writings, comrade Ulyanov claimed to have joined<br />

<strong>the</strong> Party in 1895 ("Collected Works", Vol. 44, p. 284). How could he be a<br />

member <strong>of</strong> a party, which did not even exist? The Russian Social<br />

Democratic Workers' Party was founded only in March 1898. It seems<br />

that anything was possible for Lenin.<br />

According to <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficial myth, Lenin had been expelled from <strong>the</strong><br />

university, but <strong>the</strong> special archives <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Central Committee state clearly<br />

that Vladimir Ulyanov himself asked <strong>the</strong> Principal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> University <strong>of</strong><br />

Kazan for permission to leave his studies in 1887.<br />

According to <strong>the</strong> Bolshevik myth, he was expelled to <strong>the</strong> village <strong>of</strong><br />

Kokushkino in <strong>the</strong> province <strong>of</strong> Kazan for taking part in student revolution-<br />

ary activities. Actually, he went to live on his maternal grandfa<strong>the</strong>r's<br />

estate in Kokushkino after leaving university, an estate which <strong>the</strong> Tsar had<br />

given Alexander Blank. Lenin's grandfa<strong>the</strong>r Blank owned <strong>the</strong> whole<br />

village. Later, Lenin lived with his aunt in Kazan, a fact which Lenin<br />

himself has written about. Lenin's grandfa<strong>the</strong>r also owned ano<strong>the</strong>r estate<br />

(98 hectares) in <strong>the</strong> village <strong>of</strong> Alakayevka near Samara.<br />

There is nothing left <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> real facts in Lenin's <strong>of</strong>ficial biography. This<br />

can be ascertained <strong>by</strong> studying formerly secret documents, which have<br />

recently been released.<br />

The kind-hearted people fell for <strong>the</strong> myths about Lenin. Marie<br />

Laidoner, <strong>the</strong> widow <strong>of</strong> Estonia's former Commander-in-Chief Johan<br />

Laidoner, wrote in her memoirs that if Lenin had lived in 1940, <strong>the</strong><br />
