This painting depicts a dramatic moment in Lenin's life when he bursts into a lecture hall at Kazan University with a group of associates and pounding his fists, he shouts, "WE DEMAND PEREMECH FOR ALL WORKERS!"

Where are we from?
Ebe had told me that my family was from Penza. Penza is a city and an "oblast". Many Mishar Tatar villages are in the Penza area. I've recently learned that my family, among other places is from the village of Lopukhovka | Penzenskaya Oblast’.
I was able to google map to this location, but I'm not sure if it's correct. There seem to be several places within Russia with this same name.
I have a couple more village names to hunt down as well. They are from my Faile Apa in Ankara.
