Memorial plaque inducted for Lenin:
A somewhat belated honor was imparted on Lenin in Munich. Exactly a week after his 98th birthday a memorial plaque was unveiled in the Schwebinger Kaiserstraße at House Number 46.
Vladimir Iljitsch Lenin lived here from September 1900 until April 1901, - the most prominent guest at the little celebration was the Soviet ambassador in Germany, Semjon Zarapkin(Tsarapkin).
