    Also according to Wikipedia: Lenin had German and Russian ancestry along with Tatar, Swedish, and possibly Kalmyk and Jewish descent. But it is much more interesting to notice that Lenin was a nobleman by birth!

    And one more thing to go back to the topic... Roman emperor Vespasian last words: "Oh! I think I'm becoming a god!"

    In 1854, the United States "bombarded and burned" San Juan el Norte, Nicaragra to avenge an insult to an American minister. Yeah, fun . . .
