How does this feel, Nadezhda, to know that Russia now passes
into our control? We will make no distinction among our enemies---
who are all those who oppose us. They will be shot in huge quantaties
and buried in huge earthen crevices that can accommodate masses.

I will silence every Orthodox priest, those bringers of false hope and outright lies.
all this to be in the name of the peasants and proletariat---the People.
And then, I will march them into the Communist Workers' Paradise.
