people since the Russian Revolution
of 1917. These casualties include
not only soldiers killed on battle-
fields, but citizens murdered by
their own governments. The
whole world has seen the pitiless
slaughter carried out by
Communist leaders. One hun-
dred million men and women,
from the elderly to young people
and infants, lost their lives to
this cold, hard, savage ideolo-
gy. Communist regimes have
deprived tens of millions of
their most basic rights and freedoms, ejecting people
from their homes and systematically subjecting them to famines, slavery in
labor camps and imprisonment. Millions have been the targets of
Communist guerilla groups and terrorist organizations, and still others
have lived in the fear of becoming targets for their bullets.
What are this ideology's roots? Where was Communism born? How did
such a cruel, bloodthirsty worldview find adherents and
supporters throughout the world? Why did it come to
power and flourish, dragging millions in its wake?
How did it come to an end, with the collapse of the
Soviet Union? Or has it really ended, or does it still
threaten every country on earth?
This article answers these questions, and draws our atten-
tion to a most important one: Does this serious threat still ex-
ist in the world? Regrettably, yes. Communism is waiting in
ambush!
