History of the Swamps: Bolsheviks seized power Russia

In previous parts (parts 1 here, parts 2 here), we sketched where Muscovy got its police mentality from. We showed the desire not just to block any progress, but to actively regress — not only themselves, but anyone within reach. Muscovites simply revert to their primordial state: a slave-Horde condition in which they feel most comfortable. As a response to this amorphousness and mindlessness, the authorities long ago established that the population — both domestic and occupied — is expendable material. Nobody is supposed to care about them. When the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia, they didn’t just inherit this logic — they deepened it. They revealed new levels of cruelty, bureaucracy, and disregard for human life.

The Bolsheviks Started Exporting Chaos

Having seized power as a result of the 1917 coup, the Bolsheviks didn’t start arranging life in their own country based on their own ideas about justice. Almost immediately, they moved to infecting other countries and peoples with the Bolshevik plague. A special body was created for this — the Comintern (short for Kommunisticheskiy Internatsional, or “Communist International” in Russian). Its sole task was spreading Bolshevik ideas throughout the world.

A handful of bandits and adventurers who came to power very quickly felt the tonality of attitude both toward the controlled population and toward what’s happening around. Therefore, they quickly oriented themselves on what to do. At the slightest necessity of force application, it was applied in a horrific disproportion. This led to millions of victims. Moreover, accounting for these victims was never particularly thorough because it was said — dust to dust, and that’s all.

But we’re interested in another — external aspect of Bolshevik activity. They modified Marx’s theories, supplementing them with their research. This eventually resulted in another theory, later known as “Marxism-Leninism”. The main difference from Marx’s communist theory, Bolsheviks believed, lay in the causes of a revolutionary situation’s emergence.

Lenin’s War Formula

According to Lenin, Trotsky, Sverdlov, and Stalin, such a cause must become not capitalism reaching its extreme point of development but some catastrophic event that destroys normal life in prosperous countries. Such an event was recognized as a great, and preferably world, war. Therefore, Bolsheviks easily tucked Marx behind their belt, arguing that Marx didn’t live to see the world war. Therefore, he simply physically couldn’t calculate this most important factor.

Here the circle closed. Lenin’s slogans about the necessity of war fell into place, and generally his famous slogan “The worse, the better”. War was supposed to bring chaos, and only in chaos could Bolsheviks achieve victory. Carrying chaos outward, with the planting of the most brutal discipline and slave labor at home, became the foundation of the new Horde.

And so a torn apart country, never brought to normal condition after the First World War, begins to spend increasingly large funds on spreading chaos. First of all, in quite successful and even rich countries. This became the most important foreign policy direction of the Soviet’s activity.

Supporting “Liberation Movements” — Creating Chaos

Support for “revolutionary liberation movements” is nothing other than financing chaos, destruction, and rollback to the Stone Age. Everywhere the Soviet’s tentacles reached, wars and upheavals arose. Entire closed institutes prepared specialists in subversive activities for various corners of the world. This public remained at the Soviet’s full support while studying. Then they were thrown back to their homeland, where they continued to be provided with money and everything necessary for successfully poisoning peaceful life and creating conditions for revolution. All these expenses were made at a time when in the Soviet itself, people died of hunger by the millions.

Then they decided to accelerate this process and bring war to Europe directly. As a result, the world shuddered in the convulsions of World War II. Although neither the Soviet nor modern Russia recognize their responsibility for starting the most terrible war in human history. Their propaganda calls this the “Patriotic War” and claims the war started in 1941. At the same time, Russian propaganda denies everything Bolsheviks did from 1939 to 1941, when Stalin and Hitler were allies.

When the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia, they didn’t build a state — they built a machine for exporting chaos. This machine continues operating today under a different name. The methods remain the same: spread destruction abroad while maintaining brutal control at home. That’s the Bolshevik legacy — the Horde reborn.
