                         Happy Birthday!
  
                      Vladimir Ilich Lenin
                          (nee Ulyanov)
  
                       Born 4/22/1870 (NS)
                          (or 4/10 OS)
  
                          (d1/21/1924)
  
          Then in 'seventeen, revolution broke out,
          I couldn't see what the fuss was about.
          The Reds and I just couldn't agree,
          It was purely a case of Lenin or me.

More properly, N. Lenin, ne Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov. As Lenin, he had only an initial. AFAIK it is not known what, if anything, the N stood for, but some people make it Nikolai.
