    Lenin spoke English with a Dublin accent.

        His English tutor in London was an Irishman, and son of James Collins later mentioned that Lenin spoke with Rathmines accent. HG Wells remarked “Irish” accent in general.

        edit: Connolly, not Collins. I accidentally created a Greek myth monster of two Irish politicians.

      One of the things I have spent more time than I should looking for is audio of Lenin speaking English but don’t think such a recording exists.

Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed

This isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts

Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
