“Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.”
-Vladimir Lenin
Lenin, an avowed Marxist, returned to Russia after escaping the Tzar’s clutches to spark a revolution. For obvious reasons, the disenfranchised youth were Lenin’s most avid supporters. Although he’s not remembered with the same vitriol as Hitler and Stalin, his death toll in a few years surpassed that of Genghis Khan’s.
