100 years of bolshevism

I have been writing fewer political comments, and more foto celebrations. Part of the reason is the horrible, but simple politics, here—Trump is dangerous moron, and his party is a criminal cult, and those iterations are daily evident; and i can photograph events i enjoy.

To-day, it has been an hundred years since the October [the Russians were still using the Julian calendar] Revolution began. Lenin took St. Petersburg (Petrograd) in a Bolshevik coup. From then till 1991 Revolution Day was celebrated, since then only nostalgic communists celebrated. With Bolshevism, the civil wars began, and as in the United States the political ramifications have not been settled. Bolshevik communism is dead, but its methods of deceit, and heritage of complete social and political power are still appreciated and emulated by others.
