So, Germany wanted (and did) to send Lenin to Russia. Their pizza box, looking promising and exciting!
But after sending Lenin to Russia, rather than the results (opening the box) of "Destabilized Russia" they were hoping for, they got something more along the lines of "Communist-aligned Russia", which they did not want, and which foisted upon them a defeat in the next World War, which itself resulted in the occupation of their capital and the construction of the Berlin Wall; likewise both of which they did not want.
