[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gen Xer. Born in 1976. Dont know much about Lenin other than he was a world leader, not American, his name is used in the context of being a not-good person. I would have guessed something Nazi/Hitler related if forced to explain who he is and why he is important.[/quote] That would be Stalin. Stalin and Hitler were frenemies before they were just enemies. Lenin was dead by the time Hitler rose to power. I actually just read a really interesting book- it was focused on the Russian composer Shostakovich and the siege of Leningrad during WWII but also provided a lot of context on the years leading up to that time (including the Russians an Revolution). It's marketed as a YA ((young adult) book but I think many adults would find it enlightening as well: https://www.amazon.com/Symphony-City-Dead-Shostakovich-Leningrad/dp/0763668184[/quote]
