How did Lenin get involved with the Russian Communists and when, how he went to Russia from Germany?
where he was originally from? and what he had been doing with who and where specifically in Germany? where else and for how long in Germany?
after arriving in Russia, (which port btw, if know?) ,,what he did then and how he lived the rest of his life? when he died also and how?
Also, is it well known that Lenin was from a Jewish family or was from Jewish heritage? did his family live in the "Pale Settlement"?
Lenin was born in the Russian city of Simbirsk, now called Ul'ianovsk - it is named after his original surname.
He first became involved with Marxism whilst at UNiversity in Kazan'. The execution of his brother, Alexandr, had a massive influence on him, and on his sisters, all of whom became very active in revolutionary politics.
Lenin then moved to the capital, St Petersburg, where he became involved with the Russian Social and Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP), led by Georgi Plekhanov and Julius Martov. Lenin's revolutionary activities soon saw him exiled, first internally - to Siberia, then externally: he lived in many places throughout Europe, London, Paris, Poland and Geneva.
In 1917, after the February Revolution, Martov arranged with the Germans to transport many leading Russian political exiles from Geneva through Germany to Russia (Germany & Russia were still at war) - Lenin was one of these exiles. Lenin arrived in the capital, now renamed Petrograd - St Petersburg sounded too German - on April 3rd, 1917.
Lenin quickly set about organising his Bolsheviks (majority faction), which separated from the RSDLP in 1912, the remaining members became known as Mensheviks (minority faction). And, in October 1917, his Bolsheviks seized power, beginning the October Revolution.
Lenin changed much about Russia, politically, socially & economically - far to much to put in a short answer. He lived his life fairly frugally, although he did own a Rolls Royce car.
He died in 1924, after a series of strokes brought on by being shot in the neck by the Socialist Revolutionary (another political party) Fanya Kaplan.
