Vladimir Lenin is a character in Das Pacito AMV Warriors, originally from real life. In the remix world, he is best known for helping Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky to carry out the Russian Revolution and form the Das Pacitos.
An opinionated revolutionary, Lenin is strongly emotional, and tends to see the people around him in terms of black-and-white morality – perhaps the most notable example being his idolization of Marx. These traits are in contrast to his calmer companion Trotsky.
History
Lenin excelled in school, though he was bullied by Joseph Stalin, and went on to study law before being expelled due to his radical communist politics. However, it was he who would have the last laugh. Along with his friends Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky, he helped violently overthrow the Russian government and establish the trio as the leaders of the new the communist Soviet Union[1] – Marx even named the capital, Leningrad, after him.[2] In 1946, once the Soviets had won World War II, Trotsky and Lenin helped Marx to create a coalition of pacifists with the goal of building a better world.[1]
After a dreadfully boring initial meeting at the IHOP atop Mount Everest, Marx brought Lenin and Trotsky with him to China to meet up with Mao Zedong. It turned out to be a trap, with Mao bringing them to an arena to square off against Tsathoggua. After Tsathoggua killed Marx, Lenin and Trotsky escaped, and bore witness to Joseph Stalin nuking China thanks to Trotsky's innocent request for help.[1] The duo stole a plane from Estrovejas to get back to the IHOP, and announced Marx's death to the Das Pacitos, causing a large chunk of the members to leave; however, Lenin was too distraught by Marx's death and upset at Stalin to notice anything but his own emotions.[2]
Trotsky motioned for the remaining Das Pacitos to go to Leningrad, which Lenin was further disturbed to see had been taken over by Stalin and renamed Stalingrad. The group met Stalin in his palace, where Lenin in particular confronted him angrily and attempted to wrestle back control. Stalin told them about Marx's secret vault, and in a fit of anger at Stalin, Lenin left to go scream on top of a cliff. While there, he encountered Jenny von Westphalen, who revealed herself to in reality be Baba Yaga. Still distracted, the only thing Lenin got from this conversation was that he needed to talk to Marx's family – so his next stop was the Marx Brothers. The brothers gave him an inspiring speech about forging his own path, and he was entirely convinced that it was his to change the world and fulfill Marx's dream. Shortly after having this epiphany, Doctor Joe approached him about the ability to bring Marx back from the dead, putting Lenin on an entirely different mental track once again.[2]
Doctor Joe told Lenin that Marx's vault contained a prisoner who knew the secret to necromancy and immortality. The two went to Mount Yamantau, where the vault was held, and Lenin made his way into the vault. He encountered a wide variety of curios, including the plans for the KGB, a posthumous phone message from Marx warning Lenin not to do something-or-other, and eventually, the prisoner: Rasputin. Having acquired the formula from Rasputin, Joe led Lenin to his lab in Stalingrad, where he started performing a ritual. Stalin and the Das Pacitos soon arrived to stop Joe, who revealed his true identity as Josef Mengele, moments before the ritual summoned a cadre of OCs through a portal from Hell. A shocked Lenin attempted to take down Mengele, to no avail, as the OCs were too powerful for him; he and Stalin both decided to go through the portal and arrive in Hell.[2]
