Today is the 100th Anniversary of the 1917 Great October Socialist Revolution - Великая Октябрьская социалистическая революция. Rather than remembering the Communists let's remember the innocent men, women and children that they murdered.
The internationally- accepted number of: 3,284,000 people were murdered by the Communists in the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic from 1917-1922 (this number doesn't include the 6,210,000 killed during the Russian Civil War.)
Another 58,627,000 people were murdered in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from 1922-1991 (this number doesn't include the millions upon millions of non-war related murders by Soviet Communists in: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Yugoslavia, East Germany or Soviet-occupied Austria from 1945-1991. This number also doesn't include the people murdered by the local Communist Parties in these countries.)
Imagine how Russia, Europe and the World could have been vastly different (not to mention all the millions upon millions of innocent men, women and children who would still have lived) if Russia only had one of its revolutions in 1917 - the February Revolution where the Czar abdicated and a Democratic Government ruled for several months - instead of having two with the Communist October Revolution.
