AFAIK, Lenin died from stroke complications, not syphilis. He also suffered a serious gunshot wound in an assassination attempt a few years prior. That's the official explanation.
However, that's an interesting article. I'll have to fire off a question to my Russian history prof and see what he says, as well. The evidence presented seems to be fairly strong in favour of syphilis.
The article does seem to have a bone to pick with communism, however, so I won't be too quick to take it as truth.
