Timewatch: Lenin's Secret Files

on BBC Two England

Stored deep underground by Soviet authorities, secret files documenting the life of Lenin were hidden away for decades in a labyrinth of vaults, behind blast-proof steel doors, specially strengthened to withstand nuclear attack.

Timewatch's exclusive access to the intimate dossiers reveals a disturbed man with a turbulent personal life whose political reign involved terror tactics against the enemies of socialism to force the pace of revolutionary change and direct orders for mass executions.
