I remember the different explanation of V.Ulianov's pseudonim. In Robert 
Conquest's The Great Terror we could find   the  following monologue took 
place in the middle of 30-ies.
Stalin( to Krupskaya):" Esli vi po-prezhnemu  budete meshat' nam rabotat',to 
mi obiavim, chto ne vi, a eLENa Stasova  bila zhenoi Vladimira 
Ilicha.Partiya vse mozhet ."
