Lenin’s Pupils
Most of the members of a class of people who between the Two. Great Wars, were known as “revolutionaries by profession,” received their final educational “touches” at the Lenin Institute, Moscow. Today they are no longer the persecuted but the persecutors. Once on the run from the police, they are, today, protected by cordons of official bodyguards.' They used to be blacklisted; now they themselves do the blacklisting. These “Lenin scholarshave “made good.” Whenever they arrive at the Moscow Aerodrome they are welcomed as the heads of States, and to as anonymous functionaries. The orchestra plays not only the Internationale, but also their national anthem. Tito and Kardelj (Yugoslavia), Dimitrov (Bulgaria), Rakois. (Hungary), Anna Pauker (Rumania), Gottwald (Czechoslovakia), Togliatti (Italy), Mao Tse-Tung (China), Ho Chi Minh (Indo-China) —all are former pupils of the Lenin Institute. Members of the same “Order,” they belong to a dynasty which is much more closely knit by ideological ties than any dynasty founded on bloodrelationship of the preceding centuries.
