Lenin was entranced by violence - he used to lick his lips when a chance to use violence presented itself. Mark Yelizarov, the husband of Lenin's older sister Anna, said to comrade Georgi Solomon that Lenin was abnormal. (Georgi Solomon, "Lenin and his Family", Paris, 1931.) Charles Rappoport asserted in 1914 that Lenin was a swindler of the worst sort. Vyacheslav Menzhinsky called Lenin a political Jesuit in the Russian exile newspaper Nashe Slovo (Paris, July 1916). Menzhinsky was named People's Commissary for Financial Affairs after the Bolshevik seizure of power. In 1918, he was Soviet Russia's consul-general in Berlin and later, in 1919, he held leading positions within the Cheka. In 1926, he became head of the OGPU (political police), a position he held until 1934, when Stalin had him executed. In 1916, Menzhinsky had openly stated that the aim of the Leninists was to suppress the voice of the workers. He later became an infamous mass-murderer. Even the merciless sadist Leon Trotsky called Lenin a hooligan at a meeting of the Politburo, because Lenin, when angry, used to call his fellow criminals marauders, idiots, mongrels, thieves, carrion, criminals, parasites, speculants... On November 7, 1990, Swedish TV showed a programme about the October coup and its consequences. There were interviews with both Leninist-Stalinists and White Guards. Alexander Kondratyevich, former officer in the tsarist Russian army, now living in Paris, had personally seen Lenin. He said that Lenin's eyes were evil and radiated hatred, and he shook with evil and hatred as he spoke. Kondratyevich got the impression that Lenin somehow suffered from paranoia. The Russian author Alexander Kuprin (1870-1938), who emigrated from his homeland in 1919 to return in 1937 described Lenin in the following manner: "Short with broad shoulders and skinny." He thought Lenin was shallow. The author Nikolai Valentinov wrote the book "The Lesser-Known Lenin" (Paris, 1972). He thought Lenin's ugly little eyes radiated a piercing contempt, compact coldness and a bottomless wickedness. Valen- tinov claimed that Lenin's gaze reminded him of the stare of an angry boar. The English philosopher Bertrand Russell maintained that Lenin was the worst person he had ever met. He described in his memoirs how Lenin 122

spoke of peasants he had hanged and began to laugh as if it had been a joke. It has been made public in the Russian press how, when Felix Dzer- zhinsky (actually Rufin), chief of the Cheka, told Lenin of the execution of five hundred leading intellectuals in 1918, the great dictator, in his joy, began to neigh like a horse. He went into ecstasies and cheered out of satisfaction. In August 1990, the artist Ilya Glazunov was on Leningrad's most popular TV programme, "600 Seconds", where the host asked him: "Who do you believe to be the greatest criminal of the twentieth century?" Glazunov answered: "Isn't it obvious? Everyone realises who it is." The host was stubborn: "No, I have no idea whom you mean. Tell me, who are you thinking of?" Glazunov said: "Lenin, of course." Many people who knew Lenin personally stated that chiefly hatred and merciless cruelty fueled him. He always received news of executions with a smile. He wanted house searches and arrests to occur at night. The real leader of the terrorist organisation Cheka was actually Lenin. At the Seventh Soviet Congress in December of 1919, Lenin stressed that well- organised terror was necessary. He explained that a good communist must at the same time be a good Chekist. Another myth claims that Stalin took power from the so-called Workers' Councils against Lenin's will. But Lenin wrote the following as early as 1918: '"All power to the Workers' Councils!' was the slogan of the peaceful revolution. It is no longer applicable." (Lenin, "Collected Works'', Vol. 25, p. 156.) According to another myth, Lenin advocated democracy and freedom. If only he had had a longer time in power, everything would have been different. Lenin stressed as early as 1917 that the workers needed no liberty, equality or fraternity. (Lenin, "Collected Works", Vol. 26, p. 249.) He also said that Marxism lacked ethics. The only ethics of Marxism is the class struggle. (Lenin, "Collected Works", Vol. 26, p. 378.) Stalin did not deviate from the path of Leninism, as was later asserted. He dismantled NEP, which had by then served its purpose. Lenin had given instructions to that effect. Gorbachev also went by these guidelines. Lenin wrote: "If the front-line attack fails, we should go around and continue more slowly. We must exploit capitalism." This was in 1921 123
