Estonians would not have been treated so inhumanely. According to <strong>the</strong><br />

central myth, <strong>the</strong> terror and oppression were started only in <strong>the</strong> 1930s <strong>by</strong><br />

Stalin, This was also claimed <strong>by</strong> an editorial in <strong>the</strong> Aftonbladet on <strong>the</strong> 6th<br />

<strong>of</strong> June 1989.<br />

The Soviet propaganda mythology claimed that his parents consciously<br />

educated Lenin to be a Messiah who would lead <strong>the</strong> proletariat from <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

captivity in Egypt, as Karl Radek (actually Tobiach Sobelsohn) wrote in<br />

Izvestiya in <strong>the</strong> spring <strong>of</strong> 1933. Lenin's mo<strong>the</strong>r actually wanted him to be a<br />

landowner.<br />

The Leninist propaganda had a massive effect on Homo Sovieticus. In<br />

an opinion poll in December 1989, 70 per cent <strong>of</strong> those asked (2700 took<br />

part) believed Lenin to be <strong>the</strong> greatest personality in history. (Paevaleht,<br />

January 4, 1991.) Ano<strong>the</strong>r opinion poll was held in January 1991 where<br />

only 10.3 per cent <strong>of</strong> those asked thought Lenin was a negative person,<br />

whilst over half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m believed <strong>the</strong> October Coup to have been a<br />

historical mistake.<br />

This is why nothing upsets orthodox communists so much as revelations<br />

about Lenin. They refuse to abandon <strong>the</strong>ir icon-like picture <strong>of</strong> Lenin, since<br />

Christianity was replaced with Leninism as early as in <strong>the</strong> 1920s when <strong>the</strong><br />

whole doctrine was canonised. In <strong>the</strong> beginning, <strong>the</strong> sailors called Lenin<br />

"Little Fa<strong>the</strong>r".<br />

Lenin used all sorts <strong>of</strong> tried and tested idiocies. One example: "Work<br />

books" <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kind used with natives in <strong>the</strong> colonies were used from June<br />

1919.<br />

Lenin had few ideas <strong>of</strong> his own. Even <strong>the</strong> idea <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> land decree was an<br />

inheritance from <strong>the</strong> left-wing Social Revolutionaries. Among his own<br />

stupidities were <strong>the</strong> so-called April Theses which do not correspond with<br />

reality since economic independence is impossible without political<br />

freedom.<br />

At least Vladimir Ulyanov understood that Marxism lacked all scien-<br />

tific value. He had whispered to <strong>the</strong> Jewish businessman Armand<br />

Hammer: "Armand, Armand - Socialism is never going to work!"<br />

(SvenskaDagbladet, August 30, 1987.)<br />

According to Engels, Marx had transformed Utopian Socialism into a<br />

scientific doctrine <strong>by</strong> "discovering" <strong>the</strong> materialist (i.e. a<strong>the</strong>ist) worldview<br />

(this is how Engels is interpreted in <strong>the</strong> Soviet-Estonian Encyclopaedia).<br />

As an enlightened Marxist, Lenin knew <strong>of</strong> Marx's instructions, according<br />
