Description
The 2012 conference focused on the death of Lenin and the unusual postmortem findings of “cerebral arteries so calcified that when tapped with tweezers, they sounded like stone”. He died just before his 54th birthday, a young age to have such advanced atherosclerosis with no apparent risk factors. Included are the Russian leader’s medical history, diagnoses of European physicians consulted during his terminal illness, and the autopsy results. Dr. Vinters’ conclusion is that Lenin died of accelerated cerebral atherosclerosis.
