I wish we had heard Bertrand Russell’s impressions of Lenin
in my high school history lessons.
excerpt from the audio:
Bertrand Russell: I did not much
like that.
excerpt from the audio:
Lenin: Oh dear me no, we are not establishing peasant proprietorship, you
see there are workers and some rich peasants and we stirred up the poor
peasants against the rich peasants and these soon hanged them to the nearest
tree . Ha, ha, ha, ha!
