Krupskaya confirmed in her "Memoirs": "The flat on Rue Bonieux was<br />

large and bright and <strong>the</strong>re were even mirrors above <strong>the</strong> heating stoves. We<br />

even had a room for my mo<strong>the</strong>r, Maria, <strong>the</strong>re." Lenin paid 1000 francs a<br />

month for <strong>the</strong> flat.<br />

Lenin also rented an expensive, four-roomed flat at Kaptensgatan 17 in<br />

Ostermalm (east-central Stockholm) in <strong>the</strong> autumn <strong>of</strong> 1910. This is where<br />

he met his mo<strong>the</strong>r for <strong>the</strong> last time.<br />

The many stories about "kind-hearted Lenin" played a major part in <strong>the</strong><br />

Soviet mythology. The proletarian author Maxim Gorky warned about<br />

Lenin with <strong>the</strong> following words: "Anyone who does not wish to spend all<br />

his time arguing should steer clear <strong>of</strong> Lenin." It must be stressed that<br />

Lenin had very few friends. He used <strong>the</strong> familiar term <strong>of</strong> address only with<br />

his relations and two o<strong>the</strong>rs, L. Martov and G. Krizhanovsky. He also<br />

spoke familiarly with his two lovers, Inessa Armand and Yelena Stasova.<br />

His Party comrades disliked him. They did not even tell him about <strong>the</strong><br />

February coup in 1917. He learned about this when reading Neue Ziircher<br />

Zeitung. Even <strong>the</strong>n he had difficulty believing it was true.<br />

The Sovietologist Mikhail Voslensky emphasised in his book "Mortal<br />

Gods" ("Sterbliche Gotter", Dietmar Straube Publishing, Erlan-<br />

gen/Bonn/Vienna, 1989) that Lenin was one <strong>of</strong> those few dictators who<br />

left plenty <strong>of</strong> written evidence <strong>of</strong> his crimes against humanity behind him.<br />

Among o<strong>the</strong>r things, Lenin demanded: "The more representatives <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

reactionary priesthood we manage to shoot, <strong>the</strong> better."<br />

Before <strong>the</strong> Bolsheviks seized power <strong>the</strong>re were 360 000 priests in<br />

Russia. At <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> 1919 only 40 000 remained alive. (Vladimir)<br />

Soloukhin, "In <strong>the</strong> Light <strong>of</strong> Day", Moscow, 1992, p. 59.)<br />

Voslensky claims that Lenin was personally responsible for <strong>the</strong> murders<br />

<strong>of</strong> 13 million people. He believed that Lenin clearly expressed <strong>the</strong> true<br />

value <strong>of</strong> Marxism. He said: "What can one extract from poisonous plants<br />

except poison?"<br />

Voslensky was <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> opinion that Lenin had taken over Marx's credo,<br />

where<strong>by</strong> he was in <strong>the</strong> right even when he was wrong. Finally, Voslensky<br />

stated that <strong>the</strong> communist ideology must be criminal, since it has brought<br />

forth so many terrible tyrants and demagogues. According to Mikhail<br />

Voslensky, Lenin was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> worst and most vulgar <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

Cruelty and brutality were coupled with cowardice in Lenin's nature.<br />

This was claimed <strong>by</strong> a former Party worker, Oleg Agranyants, in his book<br />
