Vladimir Lenin

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was a central figure in communism. During the Spanish Civil War, a barracks was named after him in support of the communist cause. (PROSE: History 101) The Eighth Doctor claimed to have played him at tiddlywinks whilst sharing an overnight train journey from Switzerland to Petrograd. (AUDIO: Storm Warning)

Rose Tyler surmised from a group of Russians in London in 1924 that they wanted to "kick out Lenin and co. and reclaim their lost lands". (PROSE: The Clockwise Man)

While the Fifth Doctor said Lenin was a disagreeable man with terrible breath, (AUDIO: Singularity) the Eighth Doctor considered him to have a "remarkable mind". Lenin wore mauve pyjamas, in contrast to the saying "redder than Lenin's pyjamas". (AUDIO: Storm Warning) He was an avid cricket follower during his fourteen year exile in London, spending much of his summer days at Lord's. (PROSE: The Devil Goblins from Neptune)

Lenin died when Charley Pollard was twelve years old (PROSE: Once Upon a Time...) in 1924. (AUDIO: Neverland)

Following his death, Lenin's remains were interred in a tomb near the Kremlin in Moscow. (PROSE: Endgame)
