Trotsky and his troop, of whom the 21 are only samples, originally began their machinations against Lenin and are implicated in the infliction of a bullet wound upon the founder of the Soviet Union in 1919 which contributed to his death in 1924. Trotsky was a spy in the pay of Germany from 1921 on, notwithstanding that he had just won the civil war for the Reds and continued until 1925 as Commissar of the Red Army, which he created. In more recent times Yagoda, acting under orders from Trotsky, caused three of Russia's most eminent physicians...

Thousands of banners on Soviet public buildings have proclaimed that Lenin said "Religion is the opium of the people." Every enrolled member of the Communist Party is a professing atheist. The Soviet League of Militant Godless has kept clawing away at the Russian Church for twelve long years. Hence outside the Soviet Union, and even inside, there has been a tendency to forget that Communism has not wiped out the Church, that many of its priests have adapted themselves to Soviet conditions with such dexterity that they now preach Christ was the first...
