On August 30, 1918, Lenin, the revolutionary teacher of the Soviet Union, was assassinated in Moscow. Lenin, who had just finished speaking in a military factory, did not leave by car immediately, but had a cordial conversation with his fellow workers. Night fell silently, and in a corner where no one was looking, a criminal Browning pistol was aimed at Lenin. After three deafening gunshots in succession, Lenin and the female worker next to him were shot and fell to the ground, and the scene was immediately thrown into chaos. Lenin was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment, where his driver-bodyguard found a terrified Jewish woman under a large tree near the assassination site. Noticeably different from the crowd around her, she stood still. When the driver approached her, she actually admitted: I am **.
After a post-mortem investigation, it was learned that the woman's name was Kaplan, who was born in Ukraine and was a member of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party. While her interrogation was still going on, the news from the hospital was worrying everyone: Lenin was shot twice, one through his lungs, just a few centimeters from his heart, and the other hit the side of his cervical vertebrae, and the bullet did not penetrate his body, but remained near the trachea of his neck. According to later information, many people believe that the two bullets in this attack were closely related to the sharp decline in Lenin's health in the last years of his life, or that his eventual death was simply caused by the sequelae of the shot. Capturing ** seems to be a no-brainer, and Kaplan has no intention of even fleeing the scene. Surprisingly, Kaplan's trial has led to a political fog that has not yet been conclusive.
Kaplan was found at the same time as the pistol he had left nearby, and through technical comparison, it can be determined that the bullet that hit Lenin was fired from the pistol next to Kaplan. At the time of the crime, Kaplan was about a few dozen meters away from Lenin, the scene was not illuminated by a power outage, and the sky was already dark, and it seemed that Kaplan was a master of marksmanship. The reality is that Kaplan suffers from an extremely serious eye disease, and her eyesight is close to that of a blind person, and it seems that she is a master shooter. During the interrogation of her, the investigators tried to understand her *** Kaplan but refused to disclose it, stubbornly saying: I will not tell you. Although he was controlled, Kaplan showed no fear and repeatedly muttered against the October Revolution, which was in line with the ideas of the Social Revolutionaries.
In 1918, it was in the midst of serious internal and external troubles. Although Soviet power had been established, the turbulent situation had not been completely stabilized. With the support of foreign forces, the famine that spread throughout the country was exacerbated, and Lenin was the soul of the revolution, and his safety affected his whole body. However, Lenin, who was busy with his work, did not fully realize the importance of his own personal safety, and the early Soviets** did not develop a well-thought-out strategy to protect their leaders. The assassination of Lenin also revealed the deterioration of the public security situation and the intensification of social contradictions at that time. As Lenin's secretary stated, Lenin was accustomed to being close to ordinary people, did not feel the need for bodyguards or guards, and did not have the proper opportunity to intervene in his security measures.
In any case, the assassination of Lenin was a major event that shocked society, and it is the general perception of the public that there should be a complete uprooting of ** and the hostile forces hidden behind it. Surprisingly, Kaplan was hastily executed on the fourth day after his assassination of Lenin. In a corner of the Kremlin, the female killer was secretly shot, and the sound of gunfire was muffled by the sound of truck engines whizzing outside the courtyard. And all the written materials about her interrogation seem to be unpredictable in the clouds. Based on an investigation of Kaplan's social interactions, she appears to have a male friend named Karski. Karsky is a non-** activist who participated in the events of the **Kyiv region** several years ago. Kaplan had a loving affection for Karski, but she denied that the assassination of Lenin had anything to do with Karski. Kaplan**, Karski seemed to disappear out of thin air.
While speculation about Kaplan's motives varied, all theories faded with her execution. Lenin, who had recovered from his injuries, returned to his busy work, appeared frequently in the public eye, and his security level was significantly improved. Sympathy for Lenin's assassination tended to support the nascent Soviet power, and the social situation stabilized. Kaplan, the protagonist of the incident, was quickly forgotten, and the only trace of her history left was when children saw in textbooks such phrases as "Grandpa Lenin was assassinated".
