[edit] Stalin and V. I. Lenin 1905 in Tampere, Finland

I believe this photo is wrongly attributed to 1905. Comparing both Lenin to tóther photeos taken about this time and later both Lenin and Stalin appear to be too old. From memory this photo was actually taken in Gorki in 1922 after Lenin's first stroke. However, I've been unable to find corroboration of this yet. --Mia-etol 07:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

This can be confirmed on the website commercial picture agency Picture History and numerous other not so definitive sites - no other site claims that it was taken in 1905. I am therefore changing the description. I also discovered that the photo was taken by Lenin's sister Maria. --Mia-etol 08:19, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
