"Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost
and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for
outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the
Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm
the Americans and let them fall asleep." - Mikhail Gorbachev, November
1987

"Communist ideology in its pure form is akin to Christianity. Its main
ideas are the brotherhood of all peoples irrespective of their nationality,
justice and equality, peace, and an end to all hostility between peoples."
- Mikhail Gorbachev's 'Memoirs', 1996

"The socialist tradition....goes back to Jesus Christ, not (Karl) Marx." -
Mikhail Gorbachev, USA Today, October 28th, 1996

"Jesus was the first socialist, the first to seek a better life for
mankind." - Mikhail Gorbachev

"If we presume the coming transformation of the Communist Party into the
Russian Orthodox Party of the Soviet Union, we would obtain truly the ideal
state, one which would fulfill the historical destiny of the Russian
people. It is a question of the Orthodoxization of the entire world." -
Gennadii Shimanov (quoted in Alexander Yanov's The Russian Challenge)

"My feelings tell me that someday a Slavic Orthodox tsar shall take the
socialist movement in hand and, with the blessing of the Church, set up a
socialist form of life in place of the bourgeois one. And this Socialism
will be a new and severe....form of slavery..." - Konstantin Leont'ev

"An empire of the Orthodox Balkan peoples together with the empire of Holy
Russia - not the present marxist, un-Russian Russia, but Holy Orthodox
Russia - can bring happiness to all mankind and realize that mystical
millennial kingdom of peace on earth, which appeared in a vision on the
island of Patmos to that glorious apostle and visionary, St. John the
Evangelist. For that Millennium has never yet been made a reality in the
history of the world, and what has been destined by God, must become a
reality. Who will make it a reality if not those who up to the present day
have been the most martyred and reviled, carved up and downtrodden, i.e.,
the Slavs and the other Orthodox Peoples?" - quote taken from "A Treasury
of Serbian Orthodox Spirituality" written by Serbian Bishop Nikolai
Velimirovich (1880-1956)

"A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic." - Josef
Stalin

"It would not matter if 3/4ths of the human race perished; the important
thing is that the remaining 1/4th be communist." - Vladimir Lenin
