The greatest honour of which the revolutionary leaders of humanity dreamed was won by them: over the bodies of those comrades who gallantly fell in battle passed thousands and millions of new arid just as fearless fighters who won victory by their mass heroism…
Comrades, let us honour the memory of the October fighters by swearing before their memorial that we shall follow in their footsteps and follow their courage and heroism.” – Vladimir Lenin, Speech At The Unveiling Of A Memorial Plaque To Those Who Fell In The October Revolution.
