"Under the Sign of Scorpion" by Juri - Gnostic Liberation Front

On the 26th of June 1918, Lenin gave orders to "expand the revo-
lutionary terror". In Lenin's opinion, it was impossible to bring about a
revolution without executions. He especially wanted to shoot all those
responsible for counter-propaganda. According to Leon Trotsky's testi-
mony, Lenin had shouted: "Is this dictatorship? This is just semolina
pudding!" about ten times a day throughout July 1918.
In the same year he gave orders to execute 200 people in Petrograd for
the sole reason that they had attended church, been working with
handicraft or had sold something.
Here are some examples of Lenin's "mild" telegrams in 1918: "A troika
of dictators should be established and mass-terror should be begun at
once. The prostitutes who drink with soldiers and former officers should
be shot or deported at once. We must not wait a single minute! Full speed
to the mass arrests! Execute weapons owners! Begin the mass deportation
of the Mensheviks and the other suspects!" ("Collected Works", 3rd
edition, Vol. 29, p. 489.) "In the class struggle, we have always backed the
use of terrorism." ("Collected Works", 4th edition, Vol. 35, p. 275.) "The
executions should be increased!" ("Collected Works", 5th edition, Vol.
45, p. 189.)
The war historian Dmitri Volgokonov found in the KGB archives a
dreadful decree, which he published in his book. In this decree, Lenin
demanded that all peasants resisting the Bolsheviks should be hanged. The
tyrant specified: "At least a hundred of them, so that all may see!"
The peasants in the province of Penza began to resist at the beginning
of August 1918. Lenin at once sent a telegram to the local executive com-
mittee with instructions to start practising merciless terror against the
kulaks (well-to-do farmers), the priests and the White Guards. He recom-
mended that all "suspect people" should be sent to concentration camps.
Three days later, he sent a new message in which he expressed surprise at
not having received any messages in answer to his demands. He hoped
that no one was showing any weakness in dealing with the revolt and
wrote that the possessions of the farmers (especially corn) should be
confiscated.
Winston Churchill called the Bolsheviks "angry baboons" on the 26th
of November 1918.
Lists of those shot and otherwise executed were published in the
Cheka's weekly newspaper. In this way it can be proved that 1.7 million
