I was reading an article about President Bush's trip to Russia, and was interested to see the following: ... Mr Putin took Mr Bush to St Petersburg University, his alma mater, where he studied law in the early-1970s. Vladimir Lenin also studied law at the university, completing his degree by correspondence during his years in exile. ... Source: On tour with President Bush - Day Five.
Yes. His elder brother Nicholai was executed by Tzarist Russia and Vladmir was exiled because of their anarchical and communist activities. Both were students of University of St. Petersburg. During communist era, the name of city of St. Petersburg was changed to Petrograd and then to Lenningrad.
