We should learn that you can't turn men into bees or ants as communism seeks to do. Ideologies that radically defy human nature are not only impractical but also dangerous. Still the 20th century would have been very dull without communism and it's easy to either defend it or just laugh and shake your head at the insanity of the whole thing when you didn't live under it. I'm sure for some, the memories are more painful and bitter or alternatively, joyful.

Боже Царя храни,
Сильный, державный!
Царствуй на славу,
На славу нам!

Царствуй на страх врагам!
Царь православный!
Боже Царя,
Царя храни!

God save the Tsar,
Strong, sovereign!
Rule for the glory,
The glory of us!

Rule for the foes' fear!
Orthox Tsar!
God save,
Save the Tsar!

Any thoughts on Lenin? He seems to be being discussed a lot in history magazine articles and stuff.

Some people say it wasn't inevitable the Communist regime would become as awful as ended it up becoming. Personally, I think the seeds of what was to come were there right from the start. It was never going to be a real so-called "people's revolution". At heart, it was always about autocratic power.

However much I'd like to favor the Tsar hymn before the Bolshevik one, I still think that the latter has a punchier melody.

A promising start led to a disappointing end.

And I am a constitutional monarchist, and my opinion is that Lenin sucks, and Milyukov is the best. Also, the White generals were heroes - Denikin, Kolchak, Wrangel, Yudenich, Miller, Pepelyaev, Markov, Drozdovskiy, Kappel etc.

Trotsky (unsurprisingly) was a Trotskyist. Trotskyism is one of the many forms of libertarian communism. Trotsky would not have been an autocrat.

Well thats utter bullshit if I ever heard any.

Trotsky put down the Krostant Rebellion and executed hundreds if not thousands of people he would have killed people too.
