Revolution
In November 1917, using the workers' discontent with the Empire, Lenin, the leader of the Communist Party, overthrew the government and executed every member of the Czar's family. Following the death of the Czar's family, Lenin instituted a policy called "Noo Pagadin." This policy mandated that the Czar's family be drained of blood and collected in vats which were located in Leningrad. The vats would then be used strictly for medicinal purposes. It is reported that Lenin used these vats following his stroke 1924, believing he would become the Nietzschen "uber-mensch."
