This is information open to anyone, but specifically for those not
acquainted with Lenin. This is a short biography and much more in-depth ones can be found through any search engine.
Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov (he was called Lenin later in life. But, was born Ulyanov) was born in April of 1870 in Simbrisk. His life wasn't very eventful until he was 16, when his father died on January 24, 1886. A year later his brother was executed for conspiring to assassinate the Czar. Later that year, he enrolled in Kazan University. But, a few months afterward
was arrested and expelled for participating in student protests. He studied law and the works of other Russian revolutionaries from 1888 to 1889 and
lived in Kazan as well as Samara. In 1892 he gained his
license to practice law. The next year he became active in a Marxist group and left to Saint Petersburg (later named Leningrad, oddly enough). In 1895 he left Russia to meet revolutionaries living outside of his
homeland (Seeing as I do not know Mister Lenin's heritage, Homeland might want to be changed to "Motherland". This can be further explained in desired.). That same year he planned to publish Rabochye Delo, an illegal newspaper; But he was arrested back home on Dec. 7. The League Of Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class is founded and Lenin
was a member. He was held by the authorities for all of 1896. In 1897 he was exiled to Shushenskoye, Siberia. In 1898 he Founded the Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) in Minsk. Later that year, he married N.K. Krupskaya; who later was one of the leaders of the Bolshevik party, alongside Lenin. In early 1899, he published his first book, titled, "The Development of Capitalism in Russia". In late 1900 he published the first issue of "Iskra", his paper. In 1901 he used Lenin as his name for the first time. He published "What is To Be Done?" in 1902. In 1903 the Bolshevik party
was formed. In 1914 Germany attacked Russia and World War One begins (Factual error. WWI began following the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and his Wife. Also, Russia invaded Austria First.). In 1917 the "July Days" uprising
began. That same month, Lenin is forced into hiding in Finland; Lenin then called for a new uprising and secretly
returned to Petrograd in September. In October Lenin called for "
immediate insurrection" even though there was strong opposition within his party. With Lenin as chairman, the Soviet government is formed (If anyone is wondering, "Soviet" is Russian for "Council".). In 1918 Fanny Kaplan tried to assassinate Lenin and failed; Lenin was wounded, though. Lenin suffered a stroke in 1922 and gave his last public speech some months later. Lenin had another stroke in December. Politburo ordered that Lenin be kept in isolation in late December. On December 30, 1922 the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) was formally created. In 1923 Lenin suffered from yet another stroke and lost his ability to speak. Lenin died on January 21, 1924.
