Details
A love story brimming with ironic humour, strange friendships and irrational hatreds,
Lenin in Love abounds with surprising hope and continuous fear. Focussing on Lenin's complex and often stormy relationships with his wife Krupskaya, his French mistress Inessa Armand, and their complex troika, it explores the romantic and cruel paradoxes inherent in Lenin's frenzied personality. Details of the secret life of Lenin have only recently come to light with the opening of the Kremlin archives in the mid 1990's.
