Lenin in Love

Lenin, the Communist icon, believed that his secret life would die with him. The opening of the Soviet archives in the mid 1990s has proved otherwise. Lenin in Love is a comedy about a tragedy, which exposes the sexual troika and the sadistic proclivities of arguably the foremost political genius of the last century. Lenin was a passionate lover, Machiavellian strategist and a calculating murderer, and the frenzied paradoxes inherent in his life changed the course of history.
