Lenin envied Marx, dreaming of the same lush vegetation on own physionomy. Once he took Trotsky with him to Marx for a consultation on this issue. Engels meets them and says: "Marx, guys, alas, has died already. Did not have time. But nothing, I'm here instead of him. I won't tell you about the beard, but I will explain about the revolution. " And the harmful Engels taught both them revolutions to arrange. Well, they and arranged us a "fun life".
In his distant childhood, inquisitive and caring for world justice, Volodya Ulyanov came to his educated father, a civil general, and asked the question: "Why the numerous lower classes not overthrown a small number upper?" The answer was: "And they have been overthrowing them, immediately turning themselves into a small number". But Volodya believed not his father, but Marx. And, as you can see now very clearly, he was mistaken!
Vladimir Ulyanov, studying Marxism and dialectics, could not understand in any way what to put ahead - a chicken or an egg. He did not find the answer in Marx. Therefore, he went to Leo Tolstoy. That answer gave: "It is foolish to put the chicken in front of the egg and vice versa". Since then, the puzzled Volodya became the respect Tolstoy so much that later made him a "mirror of the Russian revolution".
