I can accept the possibility of that happening. Lenin was not a peasant and was actually granted more cash allowance than some others (Stalin for example) when in exile in Siberia because of his higher status. Therefore, I can accept those of a higher financial situation becoming involved in revolt in this story as well.

Zero aptitude for sensibility? Where did that come from?

In my opinion, both of his previous films were well-made, successful adaptations - and neither of them did any dishonor to their source material.
