Zinoviev in 1917: the guy No. 2 in Bolsheviks, only behind to Lenin himself and ahead of Trotsky, Stalin and Kamenev
less than 20 years later, this pic that describes the true meaning of the word BTFO, was taken when he was arrested by the notorious NKVD chief Yagoda, who was about to be arrested and BTFO himself
How did based Stalin do that?
nobody expected to get outsmarted by a Churka until it was too late
>How did based Stalin do that?
he was an extremely skilled statesman whose paranoia worked at times for or against him
Lmao that Georgian bitch
>Before the trial, Zinoviev and Kamenev had agreed to plead guilty to the false charges on the condition that they not be executed, a condition that Stalin accepted, stating: "that goes without saying". Nonetheless, a few hours after their conviction, Stalin ordered their execution that night.[9] Shortly after midnight, on the morning of August 25, Zinoviev and Kamenev were executed by shooting.

How do you think it feels to be born in bumfuck Georgia, drop it all to join a band of revolutionaries, have exciting adventires with your komrades, end up actually managing to topple the Tsar of All Russias, take power with them, and then kill them all ?
based
fun fact: stalin had been exiled to siberia multiple times, and the russian federation uses labor camps in siberia to this day, GULAGs are basically a russian tradition and not unique to the soviet union
>In July 1903, the Justice Minister recommended that Stalin be sentenced to three years of exile in eastern Siberia.[112] Stalin began his journey east in October, when he boarded a prison steamship at Batumi harbour and travelled via Novorossiysk and Rostov to Irkutsk.[113] He then travelled, by foot and coach, to Novaya Uda, arriving at the small settlement on 26 November.[114] In the town, Stalin lived in the two-room house of a local peasant, sleeping in the building's larder.[115] There were many other exiled leftist intellectuals in the town, the majority of whom were Jewish, but Stalin eschewed them and preferred drinking alcohol with the petty criminals that had been exiled there.
classic stalin
>Stalin began his journey east
IIRC transit time didn't count towards your sentence time, sucks if you are sent to Kamchatka.
what book is this?
>IIRC transit time didn't count towards your sentence time
This is why you had Jews like Hannah Arendt calling Stalin LITERALLY HITLER.
the gulags under Stalin and Lenin were far worse than the tsarist or post-Stalin camps, which is why they get associated like that
Yea but Stalin had digits
