        It refers to the refers to the «Ленин — гриб» (Lenin is a mushroom) joke

        Quote:

        multimedia artist and countercultural and political activist Sergey Kuryokhin (1954–96) […] claimed that ‘the Russian revolution of October 1917 was made by people who for years had been taking [hallucinogenic] mushrooms. In the process of consumption, these mushrooms altered people’s personalities, so that people [effectively] became mushrooms [themselves]. […] Lenin was a mushroom’.
