Centenary of the Bolshevik Revolution

Lenin - the Man, The Myth, The Poster
Welcome to the Revolution Comrades! 100 Years ago today the Bolshevik Guards (directed by one V.I. Lenin) stormed the Winter Palace to topple the post Romanov Interim Government. Good job mobilising the masses and standing up to a really crap regime!

Of course, it tailed off a bit with the subsequent Civil War and the less said about those Soviet Chaps the better (though they were pretty handy Allies against those angry Germans). Dasvidanya Tovarish!

Comrade Kitty, because the internet breaks if you dont post enough cat pictures.

    1. I think a big club RCW campaign with Cossacks, Armoured Cars, Allied Expeditionary forces and Siberians would be awesome!

  5. The main difference between Communism and Naziism is that nobody claims that we haven't properly implemented Naziism yet.
