N Notorious communist tactics of the past

                Lenin and Stalin were the bloodiest representatives of communism,
           and both were against religion with a very strong language, as com-
           munism requires. Lenin killed 200,000 priests for the sake of installing

           communism in Soviet Russia, as well as oppressing millions of Chris-
           tians, destroying thousands of churches and even converting some of
           these into museums of atheism. Stalin followed in Lenin's footsteps and
           said this about religion:

                We carry on and will continue to carry on propa-

                ganda against religious prejudices. … The Party
                cannot be neutral towards religion and does con-
                duct anti-religious propaganda against all
                and every religious prejudice… 21


                Astonishingly, that same Stalin who
           spoke of the need to employ anti-reli-
           gious propaganda against all faiths
           also signed an accord with the
           Russian Orthodox Church
           in the first years of the
           Second World War. Permis-
           sion was given for tens of
           thousands of churches to

           reopen and for the recon-



             Lenin and Stalin were the
             bloodiest communist leaders
             ever. The small pictures show
             people slaughtered by these
             two dictators.
             Öcalan declares he will follow
             the same path, by saying, "I am
             the Lenin of this century".
