Vladimir Lenin

Lenin was the Great Leader of the Soviet Union, although he was somewhat overshadowed by this other Great Leader of the Soviet Union, Stalin. Lenin is still on display in Moscow although he has been dead way before MTV was invented.

The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries. Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers, who, like us, are oppressed by capital; they are our comrades in the struggle for socialism. Among the Jews there are kulaks, exploiters and capitalists, just as there are among the Russians, and among people of all nations… Rich Jews, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob and disunite the workers… Shame on accursed Tsarism which tortured and persecuted the Jews. Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations"
