Josef Vissarionovich Stalin
I was the most savage dog amongst those dogs
that called themselves Bolsheviks. Politburo. Communist Central Committee
Who murdered the Romanov children, their mother
their father.
(Moscow does not believe in tears)
Who liquidated 5 million Kulaks
starved to death 6 million Ukrainians.
another 8 million I had liquidated as enemies of the state
35,000 Red Army Officers shot.
My wife Nadezhda chose to shoot herself.
A single death is a tragedy
a million deaths a mere statistic.
You ask me when will I stop the killing?
When it's no longer necessary.
