I liked him when he was with the Beatles but not so much when he hooked up with Yoko.
do you think that "The
Red Terror" is a funny thing?
"The
Red Terror was a period of political repression and mass killings carried out by
Bolsheviks after the beginning of the
Russian Civil War in 1918.
Soviet historiography describes the Red Terror as having been officially announced in September 1918 by
Yakov Sverdlov and ending about October 1918. However, the term was frequently applied to Bolshevik
political repression during the whole period of the Civil War (1917–1922),
[1][2] as distinguished from the
White Terror carried out by the anti-Bolshevik side. The
Cheka (the Bolshevik
secret police)
[3] carried out the repressions of the Red Terror.
[4] Estimates for the total number of people killed during the Red Terror for the initial period of repression are at least 10,000.
[5] Estimates for the total number of victims range from 100,000
[6] to over 1.5 million.
[7] The majority of the violence's targets during the initial phase of the Red Terror were representatives of the Tsarist regime and former Tsarist officers, along with significant numbers of
bourgeoisie.
