I remember the popular understanding being the stroke was caused by heavy metal poisoning due to bullets remaining in his body from a years' ago assassination attempt?

Nope, the stroke was caused by a severe case of multiple sclerosis which Lenin inherited from his father. That’s why Lenin deteriorated severally before the stroke, as he was already in the later stages of the disorder and he was facing substantial dementia among a litany of other symptoms.

Did getting shot help? No, but Lenin’s arteries were already a ticking time bomb.
