If you want to understand how communism swept over countries and destroyed them then just pay attention to what is happening here, right now.
I always thought that a lot of Lenin’s hatred was due to the tsarist government justly hanging his brother for conspiring to bomb tsarist officials. His name wasn’t Lenin; it was Ulyanov and typical of many of our privileged today, the Ulyanov family was the wealthiest in the city where he grew up. His hatred and mass murder paid off - Stalin wanted him out of the picture and he probably killed him by slow poisoning.
Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna
In 1918, Vladimir Lenin ordered the Cheka to arrest Elisabeth . . .
Lenin welcomed Elisabeth’s death, remarking that “virtue with the crown on it is a greater enemy to the world revolution than a hundred tyrant tsars”
