My father-in-law was a Colonel in the Red Army and served in several places, including WWII. When his Tank Battalion was out on maneuvers, they were talking about things they ought not have been. Turns out, one of his junior officers was KGB. The officer, his wife, and two young daughters were snatched up the day after they got home. The next day, my father-in-law and a couple other officers showed up looking for them. Apartment unlocked, all their belongings remaining and the family was gone. Never to be seen or heard from again. Real life stories, up close & personal, puts a whole other perspective on what living then was all about.

While this was barely focused on, Lenin demanding the destruction and cultural heritage of churches and monasteries for millions of religious and highly superstitious peasants was easily one of their early wrong moves. One, human beings will always look to some kind of higher power even if they claim otherwise. That’s exactly why they expected people to join the ‘religion’ of Communism and the Might Lord Lenin/Stalin. They were at least somewhat smart enough to know they couldn’t just do away with religion without it being replaced. Only thing is you can’t truly enforce a law like that. People will always find a way. It’s ironic though in their hour of need during WWII all the Orthodox churches opened back up. Lol. Yet people today still believe in Communism of some form. It’s baffling. I guess when you teach nothing but race, sexuality, and gender ideology people don’t learn about the old ideologies that don’t work. It’s never failed to amuse me xenophobic nations like China and NK *still* practice a form of Marxism. Shoot, NK is literally a Stalinist state. They’re xenophobic nations with governments based on European theories and ideologies.
