'''Vladimir Ilyich Lenin''', born '''Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov''' (1870 – 1924), was a [[Russia]]n {{Wiki|Marxism|Marxist}} revolutionary and communist politician who led the [[Russian Revolution|October Revolution]] of 1917. He was the leader of the Soviet Union from 1917 until his death in 1924.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
As leader of the Bolsheviks, he headed the {{Wiki|Soviet Union}} during its initial years as it fought to establish control over Russia in the {{Wiki|Russian Civil War}} and worked to create a Marxist economic system.<br />
<br />
Though not an [[Assassins|Assassin]] himself, Lenin was affiliated with the [[Russian Assassins]]. His brother, [[Aleksandr Ulyanov]], was an Assassin, as was their close friend [[Nikolai Orelov]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]'' - Issue #1</ref> During the October Revolution, Lenin sent a letter to Nikolai urging him to kill [[Nicholas II of Russia|Tsar Nicholas II]], even if the Order itself no longer saw him as a threat. When Nikolai decided not to, Lenin sent his Bolsheviks to eliminate the entire Royal Family.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: The Fall'' - Issue #3</ref><br />
<br />
In 1917, as Lenin's party took control of Russia, he aided the Assassins greatly, giving them access to several facilities that would further their work, especially in the field of science. One such facility was located in [[Protvino]], near Moscow, and was a carefully-guarded secret thanks to Lenin's intervention.<ref name="ACIMT">''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]'' - Modern Times</ref><br />
<br />
Sickened by disease and fatigue, and the stresses of leadership, Lenin suffered three strokes in 1922, with the last rendering him mute and bed-ridden until his death on 21 January 1924. With Lenin dead, [[Joseph Stalin]] soon took power, becoming a puppet of the [[Templars|Templar Order]].<ref name="ACIMT"/><br />
