Geocache Description:

The cache is located just near the factory, where took place a historical event: Lenin assassination attempt. The cache container is a magnetic micro.

On August 30, 1918 the important historical event happened near the factory where the cache is located. The leader of the world proletariat, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, was attempted assassination. Fanya Kaplan, a member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, approached Lenin after he had spoken at a meeting and was on the way to his car. He had his foot on the running board. She called out to Lenin, who turned to answer. She immediately fired three shots hitting Lenin twice: one bullet, relatively harmless, lodged in the arm; the second round, more seriously entering at the juncture of Lenins jaw and neck, the third shot striking a woman who was talking with Lenin when the shooting began. Lenin fell to the ground, unconscious. He was taken to his apartment in the Kremlin, refusing to venture to a hospital since he believed that other assassins would be waiting there. Doctors were summoned but decided that it was too dangerous to remove the bullets. Lenins health declined from this point. It is believed by some that the incident contributed to his later strokes. Now there is a park with a memorial monument of Lenin in memory of past days.

The cache is located just near that historical place, it's rather crowded there. The cache container is a magnetic micro, it is visible under some angle. Please, find it's location visually first. Then you can grab it without attracting attention.
