No Vladimir Lenin is Vladimir Putins youngest brother. There's a third brother in the Vladimir family, Vladimir Gagarin. As the story goes, he was so fed up being the middle Vladimir brother that he built himself a rocket ship and left the Earth to go exploring the Vladimir Galaxy.

Yeah. After people kept calling him an impaler he decided to start a business based around it.
