Mikael B. | 1 comments When i look up Lenin in the quotes section, the first quote that appears is:

“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.”

I could not find any documented proof of Lenin having said that and i have found several websites accusing him of never having said that phrase. The first occasion of this quote being attributed to him i have been able to find was from 2001.

If i am wrong about this, could i please have a source from this quote whether he said it verbally and someone took it in note or he wrote it in one of his books? Thank you in advance for your time.

Seeing as this quote has more than 500 likes, i created this under the "request for super librarians" since i've been informed that only Superlibrarians can change quotes with more than 500 likes.
