From: Q (Frank Staplin) The first three treat the destruction of Lenin and the true communists; The 4th shows the primacy of Stalin and Bolshevism, with Lenin looking on in the background.

From: Jack the Sailor "Jack, I am afraid those mice might be lower level functionaries who would only be recognized, if at all, by scholars of early Communism." I fear that too.
