I suppose Leo is ok (if you like all that hair   )

I DO like it! I have always been a fan of longer hair on guys. That's one thing I don't like about the Imperial era men, their hair is too short!

How about a goatee? Anyone like Sverdlov?

Lenin and Krupskaya

Nadezhda Krupskaya, the daughter of a military officer, was born in St. Petersburg on 26th February, 1869. A radical from an early age, Krupskaya was a committed Marxist and was the member of several illegal organizations.

Krupskaya taught in an evening school for adults and in 1894 met fellow revolutionary, Vladimir Lenin. Two years later Lenin was arrested and sentenced to three years internal exile in Siberia. Krupskaya joined Lenin in Shushenskoye and they married in July, 1898. While living in exile Lenin and Krupskaya also translated from English to Russian, The Theory and Practice of Trade Unionism by Sidney Webb and Beatrice Webb.
