RAZLIV
A must for diehard Lenin buffs. Here in July and
August 1917 Vladimir Ilyich took refuge from the
provisional government after the disastrous "July
Days," Lenin's premature putsch. Taking no chances,
Lenin disguised himself with a natty wig and lived
for a while in the barn of Nikolai Yemelyanov, a
Bolshevik worker from nearby Sestroretsk. After a
short time he moved across the lake to a haystack,
built especially for him by Yemelyanov. The tactics
worked; the provisional government couldn't find the
noodle in the haystack. Both barn and `stack are
museum pieces for the time being.
