During A Fairly Chilly Day, In Moscow, In Early 1918, Lenin Gloated

How does this feel, Nadezhda, to know that Russia now passes

into our control?  We will make no distinction among our enemies---

who are all those who oppose us.  They will be shot in huge quantaties

and buried in huge earthen crevices that can accommodate masses.

I will repurpose each house of prayer, and topple every church's steeple;

I will silence every Orthodox priest, those bringers of false hope and outright lies.

all this to be in the name of the peasants and proletariat---the People.

And then, I will march them into the Communist Workers' Paradise.
