In 1924, Lenin died after a long illness, and in 2017, Doctor Valery Novosyolov got access to the diaries of his doctors. He became their first and only researcher: the diaries were closed for 75 years, and when this period expired in 1999, the archive extended it for another 25 years. After examining the diaries of doctors, Novosyolov came to the conclusion that all these years the official cause of Lenin's death was indicated incorrectly.

Lenin is believed to have had a multi-infarction brain injury. There are a lot of publications on the state of his health, but basically these are the arguments of various historians, without signs of medical knowledge and not supported by any historical documents.

For the entire period, only two books were published in 1997 and 2011 by Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Director of the Institute of Physical and Chemical Medicine Yuri Mikhailovich Lopukhin “Disease, death and embalming of V. I. Lenin . Since 1951 he worked in the laboratory at the mausoleum. Actually, there is little about the leader's illness. Most of it is still devoted to the story of the embalming. Yuri Mikhailovich eventually wrote that due to the illness itself, he had more questions than answers. The documentary part was missing in his book.

For the entire period, only two books were published in 1997 and 2011 by Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Director of the Institute of Physical and Chemical Medicine Yuri Mikhailovich Lopukhin “Disease, death and embalming of V. I. Lenin . Since 1951 he worked in the laboratory at the mausoleum. Actually, there is little about the leader's illness. Most of it is still devoted to the story of the embalming. Yuri Mikhailovich eventually wrote that due to the illness itself, he had more questions than answers. The documentary part was missing in his book.

All the main doctors were neurologists. According to the official version, Lenin suffered a series of strokes, which these specialists are dealing with. By the way, from the very beginning of Lenin's illness, one can notice the intrigue. In Russia, by 1922, there were three leading neurologists, three world stars: Lazar Solomonovich Minor, Liveriy Osipovich Darkshevich and Grigory Ivanovich Rossolimo. When, at the request of the Soviet leaders, foreign doctors came to Moscow to examine Lenin, they were surprised that none of these celebrities were involved in the leader's treatment.

And here's what's interesting - Lenin turned the history of the whole world. What sign, plus or minus, is a separate topic. But his personal doctor Kozhevnikov is generally unknown to anyone. Today there is only an inscription on the gravestone. But this does not mean that the gray mouse was specially chosen among the doctors.

He was made unknown later. In the memoirs of Academician Alexei Ivanovich Abrikosov, the founder of the Soviet school of pathological anatomy, Kozhevnikov is mentioned several times, and in the list of outstanding doctors. Besides him, of the leading neurologists, Lenin was observed only by Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev, who was poisoned in 1927.

There is a popular version that Bekhterev was poisoned because of the diagnosis he gave to Stalin: paranoia. But the great-grandson of Bekhterev, director of the Research Institute of the Human Brain of the Russian Academy of Sciences Svyatoslav Medvedev and other relatives are sure that the reason is precisely in Lenin.

Bekhterev could not be ordered to step aside. He is the world's luminary. Lump in science. In medicine, 47 symptoms, syndromes, and diseases are named after Bekhterev. Until now, none of the scientists in the world has managed to surpass this record. That is, for the leaders of the Soviet state, Bekhterev was an unattainable figure. He was also a very stubborn man. On the eve of his death, he was going to go to a major neurological conference abroad. Probably, they were afraid to release him as the bearer of the secrets of Lenin's illness and death. Since there was no influence on the academician, they decided to act with a proven method - they poisoned him. He fell ill in the evening and died in the morning. The clinical picture was typical for arsenic poisoning. All subsequent events with an autopsy at home - or rather, just a brain fence and instant cremation - only confirm the political order. Imagine the sudden death of a world luminary in medicine, while no forensic medical research is being carried out, which should have been necessary, the brain is removed right at home, and the body is immediately burned.

So what's wrong with Lenin's disease? The autopsy report on Lenin's body was written the day after his death, on January 22, 1924, in an estate near Moscow in Gorki. In this case, the Patient is opened on January 22, and the next day, January 23, the body is delivered to Moscow.
