What secrets was the famous cinema myth by Mihail Romm "Lenin in October" called to hide?
What prevented CheKa (Extraordinary Committee) investigators from comparing the obvious facts in the case of Lenin's assassination attempt? Could the half-blind Kaplan shoot Lenin? Why, despite of the popular version about the "humane forgiveness", the terrorist was executed without a court consideration or investigation, and her remains were secretly burned?
