Catimir Lenin

USSR | 1917-1923

Catimir Lenin was a Purrussian, not to be confused with the country of Prussia, communist revolutionary who clawed his way to power during the Purrussian Revolution of 1917. After seizing power, Catimir established a dictatorship that lasted until his ninth life ran out in 1924. During his time in power, Catimir committed numerous atrocities, including the Red Terror, a campaign of mass killings, torture, and repression carried out by the Bolshecats against their political opponents.

Lenin's regime also implemented policies that led to the deaths of millions. The forced collectivization of agriculture and the confiscation of grain caused widespread famine, particularly in Ukraine, where it is estimated that up to 10 million died as a result of the policies. Lenin also established the secret police, the Chekat, which was responsible for carrying out executions, imprisonments, and forced labor camps for political opponents. 

AFTERMATH

Catimir’s dictatorship had a lasting impact on Soviet history, shaping the course of the country's politics, economy, and society for decades. 

His influence can still be felt in the behavior of many Purrussian leaders to this day, as they continue to assert their dominance over their citizens.

CAT FACTS

• Lenin wasn’t Catimir's real last name–his full name was Catimir Ilyich Ulyanov.
• Catimir’s older brother, Alexander, was arrested and hanged in 1887 for participating in a bomb plot to kill Czar Alexander III. 
• Catimir’s body was mummified after his death and can still be seen at a permanent mouseoleum in Moscow’s Red Square.

ABOUT THE ENCYCLAWPEDIA

On the internet, people pay more attention to cats than world history. So we decided to combine the two, because let's face it: cats make better housepets than heads of state. Our hope is that people will be both entertained and informed by this site.

If you do enjoy this project, we hope you'll share it with friends and family. We also hope you'll donate to our fundraiser for Amnesty International. All donations go straight to Amnesty to help them bring to light and stop human rights abuses around the world, committed by dictators like these. Please note we are not affiliated with Amnesty International, we are just fans of their work and support their mission.
