In 1886, Alexander Ulyanov, a brilliant biology student, joined a small group of students at St. Petersburg University to plot the assassination of Russiaās tsar. Known as āSecond First Marchā for the date of their action, this group failed disastrously in their mission, and its leaders, Alexander included, were executed. History has largely forgotten Alexander, but for the most important consequence of his execution: his younger brother, Vladimir, went on to lead the October Revolution of 1917 and head the new Soviet government under his revolutionary pseudonym āLenin.ā
Probing the Ulyanov family archives, historian Philip Pomper uncovers Alexanderās transformation from ascetic student to terrorist, and the impact his fate had on Lenin. Vividly portraying the psychological dynamics of a family that would change history, Leninās Brother is a perspective-changing glimpse into Leninās formative yearsāand his subsequent behavior as a revolutionary.
