Born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov on April 22, 1870, he took on the pseudonym of "Lenin" in 1901 following his Siberian exile for attempting to publish an illegal newspaper called *The Workers Cause*. The pseudonym of Lenin which he chose for himself was fashioned from the name of the river Lena in Siberia.
The name of the river itself is believed to have been derived from the original name of "Elyu-Ene", meaning "large river".
