Lenin was a Mushroom / Ленин был грибом /

“Lenin was a mushroom. Moreover, he was not only a mushroom, but also a radio-wave. His armored-car, the famous ‘bronevik,' served as a spawn while Lenin was a fly agaric.”


19 years ago on 17 May 1991 Russian avant-garde musician Sergey Kuryokhin presented his theory, claiming that Lenin was a mushroom. This mystification based on real research and documentary evidence, was broadcast live on the Soviet TV show 5th Wheel" and caused sensation in the society.
According to his wife Anastasiya, Kuryokhin made this theory up in order to prove that almost anything, no matter how absurd or surreal it looks or sounds, can be 'proved,' especially on live TV. (A. Kuryokhinas interview to Komsomolskaya Pravda).
