The Soviet Union included distant Siberia, populated by sundry tribes, who developed an interesting legend about Lenin.
Once there was a bear. It must have been a particularly handsome bear, for a Soviet general determined to trap it. He left out a drink of Vodka for it and the bear, finding it, imbibed it. The effects were such that it fell asleep and was captured.
The bear was made into a dancing bear, but it didn't think much of its servile condition and escaped. After that, he somehow later became a man.
This man was Lenin, who became the Soviet leader.
Interestingly enough, the Soviet Government encouraged this legend among the Siberian tribesmen, for it made them treat Lenin with respect.
A man who turns into a wolf is called a werewolf. Therefore, a bear who turns into a human must be a wereman. Hence the title of this piece.
