Vladimir Lenin experienced several assassination attempts, including one on August 30, 1918 when he was shot and wounded by Dora Kaplan, a young girl from the intellectual class. The shooting took place as he was leaving a Moscow factory. The first shot penetrated Lenin's chest causing hemorrhaging in his chest; the second entered his back causing internal hemorrhaging in the stomach. His injuries caused his health to decline and he died aged 53 in January 1924.
