  Ecuador’s Lenin nominated for Nobel Peace Prize February 4, 2012 - 13:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A namesake of Vladimir Lenin, the late leader of the global proletariat, was nominated for Nobel Peace Prize by an Ecuadorian legislator, RIA Novosti reported. The 58-year-old Lenin Moreno, vice president of Ecuador, received the honor for the activity of his charity for the disabled, Manuela Espejo. Moreno himself was shot in the back by a robber in 1997 and is confined to a wheelchair. The deadline for submitting nominations for 2012 Nobel Prizes was February 2. It remained unclear whether Moreno made it in time for the award, which saw more than 200 nominees vying for it last year. Vladimir Lenin was proposed for nomination for Nobel Peace Prize in 1918 over pulling Russia out of World War I, but missed the deadline.
