One of the most divisive figures in 20th century History is Vladimir Lenin. He rose from humble beginnings to become the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution, and helped to overthrow the last Tsars of Russia. When Lenin became the leader of the Soviet Union, he was the most powerful man in the land, and he launched the communist shift inside of the USSR. But throughout his life he suffered from an assassination attempt in which a woman fired two bullets into him, that remained inside him for a long time.
But in his final years, Vladimir Lenin despite being in his 50s became rather ill and sick. He suffered from having a number of strokes, and it's likely that the effects of war and the Russian Revolution had a significant effect on his health and lifestyle. After suffering a number of strokes, it looked like Lenin would recover but in January 1924 he fell into a coma and then died. He had a huge funeral, but today his body still can be seen lying in Lenin's Mausoleum almost 100 years since he died. Today he's seen by some as a champion of the working class, but others see him as a dictator who's control oversaw the executions of around 200,000 people during The Red Terror.
