For political history buffs: in November 1917, Lenin established the first communist government in Russia when he overthrew the Provisional Government. He led the "October Revolution", 3 years of civil war and famine conditions ensued. Interested peeps can see the history at: http://studyrussian.com/history/history.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/lenin_vladimir.shtml Thought I may as well learn something about world history on location. And yes I can actually read the Russian plaque - yay me!
