This article is an attempt to make V.I. Lenin a little less ‘geometric’ by addressing a topic overlooked by most of his biographers: his attitude towards food and the nature of his diet. Based largely on his wife’s Reminiscences and their letters to his relatives, it discusses who did the cooking in the Ul′ianov household, where Lenin ate, what he ate and what he drank. It suggests that he did not view meals as social or business occasions and that he had little interest in food, per se. Contrary to popular assumption, there is evidence that he drank alcohol, albeit in moderation
