Many sources incorrectly identify Vladimir Lenin as a descendant of Volga Germans. He was indeed born while his parents, originally from St. Petersburg, were living in Simbirsk, a city on the Volga River about 300 kilometers north of Saratov. He also has several German ancestors with surnames that are the same as those of Volga German colonists (most notably Blank and Grosskopf). With these facts in evidence, early Soviet journalists, attempting to trace the background of the Bolshevik leader, surmised that he must have been of Volga German descent.
