X, better known by the alias (22 April [O.S. 10 April] 1870 – 21
January 1924), was a Russian communist revolutionary, politician,
and political theorist. He served as head of government of the Russian
Republic from 1917 to 1918, of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist
Republic from 1918 to 1924, and of the Soviet Union from 1922
to1924. Under his administration, Russia and then the wider Soviet
Union became a one-party socialist state governed by the Russian
Communist Party. Ideologically a Marxist, he developed political
theories known as Y.

According to his official biography, X completed the course of general
education between September 1950 and August 1960. He attended
Primary School No. 4 and Middle School No. 1 (Namsan Higher Middle
School) in Pyongyang. This is contested by foreign academics, who
believe he is more likely to have received his early education in the
People's Republic of China as a precaution to ensure his safety during
the Korean War.
During X's regime, the country suffered from famine, partially due to
economic mismanagement, and had a poor human rights record. X
involved his country in state terrorism and strengthened the role of the
military by his Songun.

X is also known as Nguyễn Tất Thành and Nguyễn Ái Quốc.
From 1919–23, while living in France, Thành began to show an interest
in politics, being influenced by his friend and Socialist Party of
France comrade Marcel Cachin. Thành claimed to have arrived
in Paris from London in 1917, but the French police only had
documents recording his arrival in June 1919. He joined a group of “Y”
nationalists in Paris whose leaders were Phan Chu Trinh, Phan Văn
Trường, and Nguyễn Thế Truyền.

There are over 500 statues of X in North Korea, similar to the many
statues and monuments put up by East Bloc leaders to themselves. The
most prominent are at X University, X Stadium, Mansudae Hill, X Bridge
and the Immortal Statue of X. Some statues have reportedly been
destroyed by explosions or damaged with graffiti by North Korean
dissidents. Yŏng Saeng ("eternal life") monuments have been erected
throughout the country, each dedicated to the departed "Eternal
Leader." It is claimed that it is traditional for North Korean newlyweds,
immediately after their wedding, to go to the nearest statue of X and
lay flowers at his feet.

The subject of X' military career has been the subject of debate and
controversy. Before World War II, X was already a Reserve Officers' Training
Corps graduate during his time studying law. Hours after the attack on Pearl
Harbor on December 8, 1941, the Japanese simultaneously bombed many
places in the Philippines, including Clark Field. The 14th Army began its
invasion with a landing on Batan Island (not to be confused with Bataan
Peninsula), 120 miles off the north coast of Luzon on the same day, by
selected naval infantry units. X was one of those who were called into the
army as a 3rd lieutenant during the mobilization in the summer and fall of
1941. The U.S. Army has confirmed that X fought on the U.S. side after the
December 1941 Japanese invasion of the Philippines until April 1942, before
being taken prisoner.

X has been portrayed in film and television numerous times. Some
notable actors include: Han Shi, the first actor ever to have portrayed X,
in a 1978 drama Dielianhua and later again in a 1980 film Cross the
Dadu River; Gu Yue, who had portrayed X 84 times on screen
throughout his 27-year career and had won the Best Actor title at
the Hundred Flowers Awards in 1990 and 1993.
The Beatles' song "Revolution" refers to X: "...but if you go carrying
pictures of X you ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow..."; John
Lennon expressed regret over including these lines in the song in 1972

The is performed by a boxer assuming a protected
stance (in Ali's classic pose, lying against the ropes, which allows much
of the punch's energy to be absorbed by the ropes' elasticity rather
than the boxer's body) while allowing his opponent to hit him,
providing only enough counter-attack to avoid the referee thinking the
boxer is no longer able to continue and thus ending the match
via technical knockout. The plan is to cause the opponent to "punch
himself out" and make mistakes which the boxer can then exploit in a
counter-attack.

Q. Once the eight Vasus ("Ashtavasus") visited Vashishta's ashram accompanied by their wives. One of the
wives took a fancy to Kamadhenu, Vashishta's wish-bearing cow and asked her husband Prabhasa to steal it
from Vashishta. Prabhasa then stole the cow with the help of the others who were all consequently cursed by
Vashishta to be born in the world of humans. Upon the Vasus appealing to Vashishta's mercy, the seven Vasus
who had assisted in stealing Kamadhenu had their curse mitigated such that they would be liberated from their
human birth as soon as they were born; however, Prabhasa being protagonist of the theft, was cursed to endure
a longer life on the earth. The curse, however is softened to the extent that he would be one of the most
illustrious men of his time. It was this Prabhasa who according to the Mahabharata took birth as ………..
..meaning He of the terrible oath.
