Here's a translation from Lenin concerning the murder of some Kulaks early
in the Bolshevik revolution. This was of course to set an example to the
world working masses of the honour and principles of the Bolsheviks. My
daughters currently covering this period for her A-levels. I must show her.
The unruly ill disciplined places that we still call schools teach this crap
now. Never once do they show this cruelty so apparent in this translation
and at such an early stage. Obviously Lenin was basically a twisted confused
nutter heavily influenced by his brother's execution.

Comrades! The revolt by the five kulak volost's must be suppressed

without mercy. The interest of the entire revolution demands this,

because we have now before us our final decisive battle "with the

kulaks." We need to set an example.p

1) You need to hang (hang without fail, so that the public

sees) at least 100 notorious kulaks, the rich, and the

bloodsuckers.p

2) Publish their names.p

3) Take away all of their grain.p

4) Execute the hostages - in accordance with yesterday's

telegram.p

This needs to be accomplished in such a way, that people for

hundreds of miles around will see, tremble, know and scream out:p

let's choke and strangle those blood-sucking kulaks.p

Telegraph us acknowledging receipt and execution of this.p

Yours, Leninp

P.S. Use your toughest people for this.p"

TRANSLATOR'S COMMENTS: Lenin uses the derogative term

kulach'e in reference to the class of prosperous peasants. A volost'

was a territorial/administrative unit consisting of a few villages and

surrounding land.p
