Oddities and inconsistencies in the case of the attempt on V.I. Lenin

Undoubtedly, one of the most high-profile events of 1918 was the assassination attempt on Vladimir Lenin, organized by the Socialist-Revolutionary underground.

It is worth recalling that on the same day, August 30, the head of the local Cheka, Moses Uritsky, was killed in Petrograd.

Meanwhile, the attempt on the life of the Bolshevik leader in Moscow completely overshadowed the above-mentioned event. Yes, what can I say, discussions about this case are ongoing to this day, because there are too many oddities and inconsistencies in it.

It's worth starting with the perpetrator of the assassination - Fanny Kaplan. It would seem that an avid revolutionary, who prepared her first terrorist attack at the age of 16, is an ideal candidate for committing this crime. Except for one big "but".

The thing is that during the preparation of the terrorist attack mentioned above, an explosive device went off, as a result of which Kaplan partially lost her sight. Then, until the age of 28, the Social Revolutionary spent in exile and prisons, where she became almost completely blind. Her eyesight was only partially restored in the Crimea in 1917.

However, in fact, a half-blind disabled person, hardly suitable for the role of a killer, was instructed to shoot at the Bolshevik leader.

However, that's not all. Two bullets were removed from the body of the leader of the October Revolution, which, according to some sources, could not have been fired from the Kaplan Browning, as they had a different caliber.

Leaves questions and a method of murder. According to official data, the bullets allegedly used by the Social Revolutionary were treated with curare poison (South American arrow poison), which was supposed to instantly kill the leader. However, during interrogation, Kaplan stated that the poison did not work, as it loses its properties when exposed to heat.

It is very doubtful that, choosing such a specific method for the murder, its organizers did not study the properties of this substance.

Finally, the fact that Kaplan was shot already on the third day after the assassination attempt on Lenin is embarrassing. One gets the impression that someone was in a hurry to cover their tracks and eliminate witnesses.

These "someone", according to some experts, could be Yakov Sverdlov and Leon Trotsky - agents of the West who tried to eliminate the leader of communism and take his place. In the future, they would have “curtailed” the program to create a “new world order”. However, this is only a version, since no evidence of the above has been found to this day.

Curare poison, yes, it would have evaporated when fired if you just lubed it. And even if not, the concentration is insufficient. You need at least 2 ml and preferably at the same time in a vein.

In the museum of the revolution and Ilyich's working room in the Kremlin, various coats are hanging, shot through by vile Essers, was he wearing two coats that day?

How stupid! In two coats ..... Minus you for not asking the guide such a killer question ..... I wish he was spinning in a frying pan ....

They say that when, in his old age, Kerensky was asked what needed to be done so that a revolution would not occur in 1917, he answered - "It was necessary to shoot one person."
To the question "Who? Lenin?", he answered "No, Kerensky."

And although history does not know the subjunctive mood, it is possible that it was the removal of Nicholas 2 from power, the arrival of such a clumsy as Kerensky that prompted Lenin to return from abroad, commit the October Revolution and everything that followed after it.

And so, if you imagine, if there hadn’t been a conspiracy of the wealthy local elite in the desire to depose the tsar and their irrepressible passion to steer the empire, Sashka Kerensky would not have sat on the royal throne, and Vladimir Ilyich would have safely lived to a ripe old age, produced children (I don’t know from whom ) and never knew in my life that such a Fanny Kaplan exists somewhere.

he replied "No, Kerensky."

Honestly on his part.
Kerensky apparently himself understood that he had made a critical mistake by arresting Kornilov and allowing the Bolsheviks to create a "Red Guard" to "defend the revolution."

the arrival of such a clumsy as Kerensky spurred Lenin to return from abroad

Well, no, there is no convergence on dates.
When Lenin arrived in Petrograd (April 3, 1917), Kerensky had not yet become prime minister in the Provisional Government, he was Lvov.
And Kerensky was then just the Minister of Justice.
He became Minister of War in May, and he received the post of prime minister only in July, after the first attempt by the Bolsheviks to stage a coup!

Another "alternative history". So many different things have been written about the assassination attempt on V.I. Lenin, as well as films, videos and videos have been made, which in total in terms of volume probably exceeds 55 volumes of Lenin's own work.

Brad drives nonsense. And both are anonymous. The goal is clear - another stuffing.

[dump22]

Thank you for the video. Very interesting.

I liked the striking data in the video that it turns out that Kaplan (possibly) was the mistress of Lenin's brother, Dmitry Ulyanov.
And that it turns out that her eyesight was restored to such an extent that she did not wear glasses.
And she was a pretty good shot.
And that there was another attempt to assassinate Zinoviev.
And that Sverdlov is definitely not to blame for anything, and Trotsky is unlikely.
And that the organizer of the attempt, Semyonov, was caught, but forgiven by Lenin, and later joined the CPSU (b) and worked in the Cheka until the 30s.

[ivan2022]

I wonder why Kaplan was not shot immediately on the spot? If her testimony was so dangerous...

For three days, everything that she remembered and forgot could be shaken out of her ... this is a long time. And as far as I understand, she did not say anything about Trotsky ... Well, of course - this exposes Trotsky completely ....

Here is another oddity - - the amazing idiocy of the guards, which allowed Kaplan to approach almost closely ....

If she knew anything. And if it was used in the dark, then no.

Lenin at that time did not have any personal bodyguards.
He was surrounded by a crowd of workers.
And that Kaplan was shooting was noticed only by Lenin's personal driver (Stepan Gil), and the rest only heard the shots. By the way, she even almost managed to escape in the turmoil that had begun, she was only seized outside the factory, at the tram stop.

The very fact is already enough to understand that this is external interference. Like the fact of the execution of the royal family, there is a certain interested person.

[ivan2022]

Which? The Bolsheviks lost hope of getting the money of the family with their sierts. Back in April 1918, Lenin demanded that they be transported to Moscow ....
And who is the beneficiary here?

It is known from history that Mikhail Romanov hung the three-year-old Tsarevich Ivan on the Kremlin gates in 1613 .... there was still a benefit, but here who benefits?

Yo sostengo que fue Stalin quien perpetró el intento de asesinato de Lenin, porque este, había contrariado las opiniones de Stalin y de su camarilla en la prensa bolchevique, defendiendo el revisionismo, contrario a la toma del poder por los Soviets, ya que la revolución Debio, en ese periodo de la Historia, ser burguesa, nunca socialista. Lo que se afirma sobre las posiciones políticas de Stalin en los momentos críticos de la Revolución Bolchevique puede comprobarse por quien quiera tener una información veraz, no la falsificación estalinista de la Historia de la que tanto fanático ignorante es devoto como se es devoto de c ualquier religion y de sus falsos dogmas.

[AHTONOB]

No se si hace falta decir que no creo lo que digo sobre la culpabilidad de Stalin en el atentado, pero se da pábulo a cosas tan estravagantes ¿por qué no decir yo la mía sabiendo que lo es?

How are cosmopolitans not tired of arguing and talking about the mummy of Satan in Kr. area? Praising once again the filthy cosmopolitan Blank-Ulyanov, nicknamed “Lenin,” who built an anti-Russian, cannibalistic slave state. It is he who is the architect of the division of Russia not into provinces, but into separate “publics,” which led to 100 years of internal Russian problems, and now, even to the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. Blank-"Lenin" is also the founder of the Gulag, Genocide, and Holodomor. In the history of the 20th century, the most accurate assessment of this representative of the infernal worlds was made by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Russian writer I.A. Bunin: “.. A degenerate, a moral idiot from birth, Lenin showed the world just at the very height of his activity something monstrous, amazing; he ruined the greatest country in the world and killed several Millions of people - and yet the world has already gone so crazy that that in broad daylight they are arguing whether he is a benefactor of mankind or not? On his BLOODY throne he was already standing on all fours, when the English photographers took pictures of him, he constantly stuck out his tongue - it doesn’t mean anything - they are arguing! " The Satanist, nicknamed “Lenin,” was gay - a gay man who had gone crazy due to brain decomposition from chronic syphilis. The famous writer-defector Grigory Klimov wrote about Lenin: “A degenerate, a cross between the Antichrist and Satan.” This writer-defector expressed his only gratitude to Blanka-Ulyanov (and at the same time to his brothers and sisters) only for the fact that he did not leave offspring, so as not to reproduce further geeks... https://proza.ru/2013/09/19/1019
