It was the Germans who brought Lenin to the Finland Station.

The Czar’s family was not allowed to flee to Britain, because of potential bad PR for the royal family, is what I’ve read.
Well, I’m just surprised he didn’t blame it on the ‘Joos!’
I suppose if you think Marxism represents a western civilization movement he has a point but I doubt many of us here think that way. Marxism to me at least is the antithesis of western civilization.
I’m pretty sure there were some crazy Russians involved in all that, too.
The Czar’s family (the Czarina a granddaughter of Queen Victoria) seemed to be a decent bunch that unfortunately collided with a new evil on the earth. Stately people who were slaughtered like animals by a group of drunken trash, ordered to do so by Lenin.
THIS must be the Trump collusion with Russia they’re talking about.....
That said, the Russians took it from there and made "Russia" synonymous with "Communism" all on their own without anybodies help.
My personal take-aways from this ...;
1) The burning souls of Lenin & Stalin & crew are achieving quite respectable RPMs in their afterlife.
2) A prime characteristic of Russian psyche is a paranoia over Western Civilization and this shows that it remains active.
3) Vladimir Putin has deployed Russian Nationalism and this includes the Russian Orthodox Church as a bulwark to his powerbase. He is the Tsar in all but the royal robes.
The West does have a history of bringing down stable, friendly governments ...South Africa and Libya come to mind.
Couldn’t have possible have had anything to do with that Rasputin guy.
I am sure that Lenin and company had nothing to do with it, huh KirillIdiot!?
