(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)

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)
