Vladimir Ilyich Lenin's birthday 22nd april
Today is the birthday of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the founder of USSR, the first socialist state in the world.
Generation of Indian people have learned to fight for peoples causes and die for the cause. The inspiration was always Lenin.
Millions of people who has never seen Lenin or the country he founded or the system he defended, always lived with name of Lenin in their heart.
I have lived in USSR for 12 years while studying. There was peace all around. A stable country with almost zero law and order problem.
Health was for all, so was education. They had access to art galleries, museums, theatres, ballet, drama, circus. In short all the doors were open to them. They need not worry about their future. This was Soviet Union. And today is the birthday of its founder Lenin.
I consider him as one of the finest revolutionaries of the world who has kept a legacy which will remain forever.
