Lenin was born on April 22 in the city of Simbirsk, where he lived until he graduated from the Simbirsk gymnasium in 1887. After graduating from high school, Lenin left for Kazan and entered the university there to study law. In the same year, Alexander, Lenin’s brother, was executed for participating in the assassination attempt on Emperor Alexander 3 - this becomes a tragedy for the whole family. While studying at the university, Vladimir Ilyich is an active participant in the banned Narodnaya Volya circle, and also takes part in all student riots, for which three months later he is expelled from the university. A police investigation carried out after the student riot revealed Lenin's connections with banned societies, as well as his brother's participation in the assassination attempt on the Emperor - this entailed a ban on Vladimir Ilyich's reinstatement at the university and the establishment of close supervision over him. Lenin was included in the list of “unreliable” persons.

In 1888, Lenin again came to Kazan and joined one of the local Marxist circles, where he began to actively study the works of Marx, Engels and Plekhanov, which in the future would have a huge impact on his political identity. Around this time, Lenin's revolutionary activity began. In 1889, Lenin moved to Samara and there continued to look for supporters of the future coup d'etat. In 1891, he took exams as an external student for a course at the Faculty of Law of St. Petersburg University. In 1895, after a trip abroad, where Lenin met with Plekhanov and many others public figures, he organizes the “Union of Struggle for the Liberation of the Working Class” in St. Petersburg and begins an active struggle against the autocracy. For his activities, Lenin was arrested, spent a year in prison, and then sent into exile in 1897, where, however, he continued his activities, despite the prohibitions.

What is a Mausoleum? A mausoleum can also refer to a building that contains many burial crypts. Modern mausoleums often have a columbarium for cremated ashes. Mausoleums can be independent buildings or part of a larger structure of a church or tribune. Mausoleum of Theodoric in Ravenna The mausoleum is a monumental funerary structure.








The Second Lenin Mausoleum - built in the spring of 1924. The second wooden Mausoleum is very similar to the current granite one. The same stepped appearance, the same balance of parts. The mausoleum harmoniously combined with the mighty Kremlin wall and its towers. On August 1, 1924, the new Lenin Mausoleum was opened to the public.














“I put my heart into this stone” They sent their granite for the Mausoleum of the republics of Tajikistan, Belarus, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and the Transcaucasian Federation. Shchusev found the stone for 5 letters (Lenin) in the northern region, in the forests of Karelia, at the Shoksha mine. “I put my heart into this stone,” said one of the masters. He expressed the thoughts and feelings of all Shoksha stonemasons - Russians, Karelians, Vepsians. They mined and sent almost 45 blocks to Moscow for the leader’s tomb.












Mausoleum 5 B in the mausoleum there was also the body of I.V. Stalin, and the mausoleum was called “Mausoleum of V.I. Lenin and I.V. Stalin”; During this period, the granite slab with the name of Lenin was replaced by a slab with the names located one above the other: “LENIN / STALIN”.


Post 1 Post 1 was established by order of the head of the city of Moscow on January 26, 1924. Until October 1993, there was an honor guard post 1 at the Mausoleum, changing every hour at the signal of the Kremlin chimes. In October 1993, during the constitutional crisis, post 1 was abolished. On December 12, 1997, the post was restored, but already at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.





The year 1905 began with major historical events. On January 3, a strike broke out in St. Petersburg at the Putilov plant, in which 30 thousand workers took part. The Putilov workers were supported by workers of other enterprises in the city, and on January 7 the strike became general. Early on Sunday morning, workers of St. Petersburg, carrying icons and portraits of the Tsar solemnly headed towards the Winter Palace. Acting according to a pre-thought-out plan, the tsarist government ordered to open fire on unarmed people. By bloody massacre, the tsarist government hoped to suppress the will to fight, instill humility and obedience. But tsarism miscalculated. On January 9, 1905, the Russian working class received a great lesson civil war!” The proletariat must carry out a democratic revolution to the end, carry out a socialist revolution, joining the mass of the population in order to break by force the resistance of the bourgeoisie and paralyze the instability of the peasantry and petty bourgeoisie. “In the fall of 1905, the revolutionary movement in the country reached an unprecedented scale. In October, a political strike became all-Russian. On December 5, the Moscow Bolsheviks decided to declare a general strike and begin an armed struggle, and on the 7th, barricade battles of Moscow workers against the troops of the tsarist government began. The revolution of 1905-1907 clearly showed that the center of the world revolutionary movement had moved to Russia, and the heroic Russian proletariat had become the vanguard of the international revolutionary proletariat. The struggle was led by the Bolshevik Party, led by Lenin.

Childhood, education and upbringing Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov was born in Simbirsk (now Ulyanovsk), in the family of public school inspector Ilya Nikolaevich Ulyanov (1831-1886). Mother - Maria Alexandrovna Ulyanova (née Blank, 1835-1916). In 1879-1887, Vladimir Ulyanov studied at the Simbirsk gymnasium, headed by F.I. Kerensky, the father of the future head of the Provisional Government. In 1887 he graduated from high school with a gold medal and entered the law faculty of Kazan University. F.I. Kerensky was very disappointed with the choice of Volodya Ulyanov, since he advised him to enter the history and literature department of the university due to the younger Ulyanov’s great success in Latin and literature. In the same year, 1887, on May 8 (20), Vladimir Ilyich’s elder brother, Alexander, was executed as a participant in a Narodnaya Volya conspiracy to assassinate Emperor Alexander III. Three months after admission, Vladimir Ilyich was expelled for participating in student “unrest” caused by the new university charter, the introduction of police surveillance of students and a campaign to combat “unreliable” students. According to the student inspector, who suffered from student unrest, Vladimir Ilyich was in the forefront of the raging students, almost with clenched fists. As a result of the unrest, Vladimir Ilyich, along with 40 other students, was arrested the next night and sent to the police station. All those arrested were expelled from the university and sent to their “homeland.” Later, another group of students left Kazan University in protest against the repression. Among those who voluntarily left the university was Lenin’s cousin, Vladimir Aleksandrovich Ardashev. After petitions from Lyubov Alexandrovna Ardasheva, Vladimir Ilyich’s aunt, he was exiled to the village of Kokushkino, Kazan province, where he lived in the Adashevs’ house until the winter of 1888-1889.

The beginning of revolutionary activity In the fall of 1889, the Ulyanov family moved to Samara, where Lenin also maintained contact with local revolutionaries. In 1891, Vladimir Ulyanov passed the exams as an external student for a course at the Faculty of Law of St. Petersburg University. After that, he got a job as an assistant to the sworn attorney (lawyer) Wolkenstein, but did not practice law for long. In 1893, Lenin came to St. Petersburg, where he wrote works on the problems of Marxist political economy, the history of the Russian liberation movement, and the history of the capitalist evolution of the post-reform Russian village and industry. Some of them were published legally. At this time he also developed the program of the Social Democratic Party. The activities of V.I. Lenin as a publicist and researcher of the development of capitalism in Russia, based on extensive statistical materials, make him famous among Social Democrats and opposition-minded liberal figures, as well as in many other circles of Russian society.

October Revolution of 1917 On the evening of October 24, 1917, Lenin arrived in Smolny and began to lead the uprising, the direct organizer of which was the Chairman of the Petrograd Soviet L. D. Trotsky. It took 2 days to overthrow the government of A.F. Kerensky. On November 7 (October 25) Lenin wrote an appeal for the overthrow of the Provisional Government. On the same day, at the opening of the Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets, Lenin's decrees on peace and land were adopted and a government was formed - the Council of People's Commissars, headed by Lenin. On January 5, 1918, the Constituent Assembly opened, the majority of which was won by the Socialist Revolutionaries, representing the interests of the peasants, who at that time made up 90% of the country's population. Lenin, with the support of the Left Social Revolutionaries, presented the Constituent Assembly with a choice: ratify the power of the Soviets and the decrees of the Bolshevik government or disperse. The Constituent Assembly, which did not agree with this formulation of the issue, was forcibly dissolved. During the 124 days of the “Smolny period,” Lenin wrote over 110 articles, draft decrees and resolutions, delivered over 70 reports and speeches, wrote about 120 letters, telegrams and notes, and participated in the editing of more than 40 state and party documents. The working day of the chairman of the Council of People's Commissars lasted 15-18 hours. During this period, Lenin chaired 77 meetings of the Council of People's Commissars, led 26 meetings and meetings of the Central Committee, participated in 17 meetings of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and its Presidium, and in the preparation and conduct of 6 different All-Russian Congresses of Working People. After the Central Committee of the Party and the Soviet government moved from Petrograd to Moscow, from March 11, 1918, Lenin lived and worked in Moscow. Lenin's personal apartment and office were located in the Kremlin, on the third floor of the former Senate building.

Lenin was one of the initiators of the campaign to confiscate church valuables, which caused resistance from representatives of the clergy and some parishioners. The shooting of parishioners in Shuya caused great resonance. In connection with these events, on March 19, 1922, Lenin drafted a secret letter that qualified the events in Shuya as just one manifestation of a general plan of resistance to the decree of Soviet power on the part of “the most influential group of the Black Hundred clergy.” On March 30, at a meeting of the Politburo, on the recommendations of Lenin, a plan was adopted to destroy the church organization. Lenin contributed to the establishment of a one-party system in the country and the spread of atheistic views. In 1922, on his recommendations, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was created. In 1923, shortly before his death, Lenin wrote his last works: “On cooperation”, “How can we reorganize the workers’ krin”, “Less is better”, in which he offers his vision of the economic policy of the Soviet state and measures to improve the work of the state apparatus and parties. On January 4, 1923, V.I. Lenin dictates the so-called “Addition to the letter of December 24, 1922,” in which, in particular, the characteristics of individual Bolsheviks claiming to be the leader of the party (Stalin, Trotsky, Bukharin, Pyatakov) were given.

Illness and death The consequences of injury and overwork led Lenin to a serious illness. In March 1922, Lenin led the work of the 11th Congress of the RCP (b) - the last party congress at which he spoke. In May 1922 he became seriously ill, but returned to work in early October. Leading German specialists in nervous diseases were called in for treatment. Lenin's chief physician from December 1922 until his death in 1924 was Otfried Förster. Lenin's last public speech took place on November 20, 1922 at the plenum of the Moscow Soviet. On December 16, 1922, his health condition again deteriorated sharply, and in May 1923, due to illness, he moved to the Gorki estate near Moscow. The last time Lenin was in Moscow was on October 18-19, 1923. In January 1924, Vladimir Ilyich’s health suddenly deteriorated sharply, and on January 21, 1924, at 18:50, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin) died.
