Back in 1820, a young man named Israel Blank converted from Judaism to Orthodoxy. This was an important event, and the nobility considered it their duty to become godparents of young people. Israel Blank received a new name and patronymic, and became known as Alexander Dmitrievich.
He received a very good higher education, became a doctor, made a career, became a Court Counsellor and was granted hereditary nobility. He acquired an estate, in which many years later, in 1870, his grandson Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov was born.
Grandfather waited for the appearance of his grandson and left for another world. I must say that the grandson knew practically nothing about his grandfather. Why?
