The Power Of The Church Is Broken!



The new Soviet government – led by Lenin – the “Council of People’s Commissars” issued one of the most important documents of the revolution on February 2, 1918:

The decree "On freedom of conscience and the separation of church from state and school from church"…:



With that, the old order has been completely overthrown, which until now rested on the pillars "God (Church), Tsar, Motherland"!

The deposed Tsar Nicholas II is a prisoner of the Bolsheviks in Yekaterinburg (and has six months to live) and the new decree practically bans the Church from public life.

The Soviet citizens are only allowed to have one motherland (Russian: "Rodina") - but it must be the "Motherland of the working people"!

A new word is specially invented for the old elites, which is used in official correspondence, documents and salutations:

From now on they are called "Бывшие люди" (pronounced: "Byvschije ljudi", which means something like "the former" or "the former people")...

In 2009 a document was published in Moscow listing all those who had "been" and their fate (as far as is known)...:





For those considered "bourgeois-reactionary" and who did not belong (or did not) belong to the former upper class, the term "Burschui" still applies, a phonetic adaptation of the French word "bourgeois".

All others are "Grazhdanin" (citizens) or - if they belong to the party - "Tovarishij" (comrades)...

Until the complete expropriation of the church, the systematic arrest...



... the systematic murder of their priests...
