Lenin: Pantocrator of Sun Dusters

Lenin was a great cyclist, philosopher, traveler, joker, sportsman and cryptographer. What he was not was a pleasant conversationalist, but if God up there in heaven wants to discuss politics and the latest news over chess, who else but Lenin would he talk to?
Talking about Lenin is like telling the stories of One Thousand and One Nights. Besides magic and mystery, there is logic in all these stories: ironclad "if... - then...". If we believe Lenin single-handedly brought about the revolution in Russia - then we are forced to believe he single-handedly ended the World War. If we believe Lenin was a hacker who cracked History - we must accept that History is flawed and in need of creative destruction. If we refuse Lenin for the same reason why some math professors are not allowed into casinos: they win too often - then we do not want to win ourselves, and we are on the side of the casino owners, and not those who would like to turn their establishments into neighborhood pioneer houses. Take down all the statues and forbid mentioning his name - history and geography will generate "Lenin" again. WHO IS LENIN? He is you. As it says on the tombstone of architect Christopher Wren: "Reader, if you are looking for a monument, just look around you."
