"Faith has always accompanied us, it strengthened when our country, our people faced particularly difficult times," Putin said in an interview for the documentary film "Valaam," a clip from which was broadcast by the Russia 1 TV channel.

"There were such severe years of militant atheism [during the Soviet period] when priests were killed, churches were destroyed. But at the same time a new religion was being created — Communist ideology, which is very similar to Christianity, in fact. Freedom, equality, brotherhood, justice — all of this is enshrined in the Holy Scripture, it's all there. And what about the Code of the Builders of Communism? This is a sublimation, it's really just a primitive excerpt from the Bible, nothing new was invented," the president said.

All statues of Lenin pulled down across Ukraine

By Ian Greenhalgh on August 18, 2017

[Editor’s note: Someone once memorably stated ‘those who ignore history’s mistakes are doomed to repeat them’ and he was right. This destruction of historical monuments, regardless of whether they are of Judeo-Zionist Bolshevik mass murderer Lenin or anyone else, should be bitterly opposed as it is part of a crass attempt to wipe the collective memory of a nation. The same thing has already happened in Poland where over 2,000 Communist-era monuments have been removed.

It would be far, far better to leave these monuments in place, to serve as reminders of the past and the mistakes made; instead of this vandalistic destruction, the people should be educated about who Lenin was, what he did to the peoples of the Ukraine and Russia and his statues left in place as stark reminders of the evil he represented. A simple information board placed alongside the monument containing the important information people need to know about Lenin and the Bolshevik terror would be far better.

Of course, the Ukrainian government is not carrying out this destruction for any reasons that benefit the people of Ukraine, rather, they are trying to strengthen the hatred of Russia and all things Russian in the minds of the Ukrainian sheeple. Rather than correctly identifying Lenin as a Judeo-Zionist and willing tool of the banking elite, they are falsely associating Lenin with Russia and using the images of Lenin as a convenient proxy for Russia – destroy the hated Lenin, he was a Russian don’t you know?
