Nice image of Lenin at Sestroretskiy Lake. Big painting who captures an important period in Lenin’s life. The sitting and thinking Lenin pose was also used as an inspiration for statues in the same pose big and small. The painting has got a signature.
For decades this painting was in a private collection. As nice as the painting is, it is not in perfect condition and needs some care. The canvas is not flat and contains ribbles. Also it needs new framing. With it’s flaws it is still an impressive image and painting and with some care good be even better.

In the summer before the October Revolution of 1917, Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin spent a short stint hiding out in a tiny straw hut disguised as a Finnish hay farmer.
Following a violent demonstration that July, the Russian government had issued the arrest of Lenin and other communist leaders. Lenin fled Saint Petersburg and spent a few days hiding in a village just outside the city, in the barn attic on the farm of Bolshevik worker Nikolai Yemelyanov. When being discovered there became too dangerous, Lenin relocated to a remote section of a hay meadow on the eastern shore of Sestroretskiy Lake, posing as a Finnish hay farmer.
He lived in a tiny hut hastily made of tree branches covered in straw. To complete the disguise, he shaved his beard and wore a wig. It was during this short hideout period in the hay hut that Lenin started writing his famous book, State and Revolution, which would forecast the overthrow of the tsarist government and the rise of the proletariat state.
After Lenin’s death the hay hut was recreated on the site where it originally stood by the lake. A museum was opened nearby to commemorate this place, and display some important artifacts that Lenin used in this short period in hiding, like a saw to cut wood and a pot for making tea.
