Blank Family
The Blank family in the Russian Empire was the family of the maternal grandfather of Vladimir Lenin. Some researchers suggest that Lenin's maternal grandfather was a Jewish convert to Christianity (Alexander Blank).

Some researchers argue the family was of German origin, and invited to Russia by Catherine the Great. It is possible that such debated concern that Alexander Blank may have had Jewish origin were spread for partly political reasons. См. интервью с биографом Ленина: ''Котеленец Е.
