On May 17, 1991, a documentary titled "Lenin was a mushroom" shook the people of Leningrad. For an hour, the presenters argued that the father of the Russian Revolution consumed so many hallucinogenic mushrooms that he became a mushroom himself. How did this theory come about, who were its creators, and how was the documentary received by Soviet audiences - these are all the questions we discuss in this video.
