This is an excellent piece of reliable history written by a British man who has been a Catholic monk prior to developing an interest in Marxism. He maintained a worldwide communication and has important links in many vital areas – including the Catholic Church. A British journalist concocted the lie that the Bolsheviks killed thousands of priests. I was surprised to learn that the Vatican had good relations with the Bolsheviks until 1924 – when Lenin died. Someone said to me that the Vatican thought Stalin might be a Muslim or sympathetic to the Islamic cause. Whatever the case, despite the capitalist West inventing all kinds of lies regarding supposed Soviet atrocities – the Vatican actually denied any such atrocities ever took place. Interestingly, Trotsky was always trouble – whilst Stalin was at the forefront of the fighting whilst being in charge of all the non-Russian areas!
