London: Syphilis killed Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin and not a stroke, believes a British historian.
To find the evidence, Helen Rappaport delved deep into books, papers and obscure journals.
Rappaport thinks the Soviets tried hard to cover up the real reasons for Lenin’s erratic, manic behaviour, bouts of rage and untimely death at 53, seven years after the revolution of 1917, reports The Daily Express.
In a bid to reach the conclusion, Rappaport unearthed comments from Professor Ivan Pavlov.
Pavlov said the “revolution was made by a madman with syphilis of the brain”.
The historian also cites a comment by Soviet diplomat Vatslav Vorovsky. He told an Italian colleague in Rome in the early1920s: “We are led by a schoolmaster whom syphilis has endowed with a few sparks of genius before it kills him.”
According to the historian, Lenin may have caught the disease from a prostitute in Paris in about 1902.
From 1921’s end he suffered a series of catastrophic physical attacks leading to progressive paralysis.

Ex-M. P. Comrade Jyotirmay Basu who used to terrorize all, high and mighty in the government, had a hotel at Bullygunj, Calcutta. Covertly it was a brothel.

How fascinating a revelation! The father of Russian revolution died of syphillis. I have little reason to doubt it will prompt Red Brigade to go on rampage as an imperialistic villification campaign against the legendary leader. Com. late Jyotirmoy Basu, ex-MP, who used to create terror in minds of high and mighty, not excluding Indira Gandhi, by his devastating testimony of evidences against corruption in government offices, had a flourishing Hotel in Ballygunj, Calcutta beside the Bullygung Railway Bride. Though a hotel, its covert business was flesh trade. Every bureaucrat in high position in Calcutta during those days new it.

I don't want to go into the morality or otherwise of Lenin's acts that led to the infection. Is this the man(?) who professed and supposedly worked for the upliftment of the downtrodden and the weaker sections of society.DOUBLE STANDARDS AS USUALLY EXPECTED FROM THE COMMIES. KARAT AND HIS GOONS, TAKE NOTE......the guys whose photo hangs in your party offices died of VD, no less.
