The Ruthless Execution Of The Woman Who Shot Lenin

One of the most powerful politicians of the 20th century was Vladimir Lenin and he established the Soviet Union, however he was almost assassinated by a partially sighted female assassin. Fanny Kaplan shot a couple of bullets into Lenin, however the bullets were never removed from Lenin and it's believed that these could have caused his fatal strokes. But Fanny Kaplan's execution for shooting Lenin was horrific and ruthless, and she was dealt with quickly and her body was subjected to terrifying treatment.

She should be better known than she is, she is a good role model for human courage and moral valor. RIP Fanny Kaplan

That picture of Lenin in the chair....looks just like Charles Manson. Both were lunatics.

[JohnnyPeacock]

What a courageous woman she was.

Whether it was by her bullet or from syphilis or some other cause, 21 January 1924 is the day Lenin finally became a "good communist."

[IreneShank]

There should be portraits and statues of her all over Russia instead of Lenin

[RIchardDavidson]

She's in heaven and a saint. he's in hell as troll.

At least at the beginning, the narration is confused. For example, her sentence at the age of sixteen (1906) was obviously under the tsar, not 1:50 “the Soviet government.”
I couldn’t stay beyond 2:16, “tough conditions of Serbia.”

It's no different than how they did the Imperial family, But they were buried in a mine shaft

Wow I wonder what would have happened if she was successful; certainly it would be unlikely Stalin would have taken power; leaving it up to conjecture who would.
Trotsky? Someone else? I think an alternative might have been very interesting.

Ruthless is a shot to the back of the head? I don't think the video creator knows what ruthless means.

Siberia, Siberia, Siberia not Serbia!

Browning didn't make a revolver, all his designs were simi-auto.

[susiefairfield]

It almost appears as though Fanny Kaplan was a patsy and who would’ve thought Lenin would refuse treatment
Crazy times

She shot Lenin with an American pistol & then she got shot with a Soviet pistol. Go figure.

[rinlo]

There are so many errors throughout this entire video. Leaving it up instead of re-doing it so it's historically, geographically and grammatically correct is just lazy and irresponsible.

[BravoCharlieu]

Lenin was Jewish as well, this is an interesting story about infighting within the bolsheviks.

[dewayneblue]

Who were these "Boshkeviks" that the narrator mentions? lol...

[onagaali]

The narrator of this video sounds just like the woman of the Her Remarkable History medieval videos.

I have to watch this without sound, otherwise, excellent photos.
