Vladimir Lenin-McCartney

Vladimir Lenin-McCartney is the current guitarist of TISM, having joined the band for their reunion in June 2022, filling the shoes of the late Tokin' Blackman. His pseudonym is derived from the Russian politician Vladimir Lenin and the Lennon–McCartney songwriting partnership of The Beatles. 
Lenin-McCartney was announced as TISM's new guitarist in October 2022, when he launched an Instagram profile, posting several pictures of the band's rehearsals for - presumably - their upcoming appearances at Good Things music festival in December. 
He debuted onstage with TISM at a secret show at the Croxton Bandroom in Thornbury on 12 November, playing two additional secret warm-up gigs with the band in Melbourne throughout November prior to their planned appearances at Good Things the following month.
Lenin-McCartney's identity remains unknown, but has been the subject of some speculation from victims. His guitar is emblazoned with the same Humphrey B. Flaubert design as the plastic costumes worn by Flaubert and Ron Hitler-Barassi during their media appearances in the lead-up to the reunion. 
To date, Lenin-McCartney has not spoken publicly about his involvement in the band, nor appeared with TISM co-founders Flaubert and Hitler-Barassi in media appearances or interviews.
