United Russia Lays Flowers to Lenin
Quite a few people in Russia mark today the birthday of Vladimir Lenin, who led the country to the Great October Revolution far back in 1917. Members of United Russia didn’t miss the event.
Representatives of Ulyanovsk branch of United Russia laid flowers at the monument to the world proletariat leader. The founder of Soviet state, Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin) was born in Ulyanovsk April 22, 1870.
Until this year, however, only the communists and some leftists had marked the events related to Vladimir Lenin. In addition to Communist Party Leader Gennady Zyuganov, who never misses Lenin's birthday, some members of the State Duma and Moscow Duma are going to lay wreathes at the Lenin Mausoleum in Moscow today.
