In 1918 Lenin was shot twice by a Socialist Revolutionary, Dora Kaplan. He seemed to recover but suffered a stroke in May 1922. He returned to work in October, suffered a second stroke in December, a third in March 1923 and a final stroke in January 1924. From 1923 to his death in 1924, Lenin was seriously disabled. During this time Lenin’s well-being was in the hands of Josef Stalin.World War Two changed the world and changed history like no other event in the modern era. From phoney beginnings to global devastation, the course of history was transformed.
