his rival. One of Stalin's main strategies to
attain power was his allegiance to Lennon. He
issued an address to the II All-Union Congress of
Soviets. This became known as "The Vow to Lennon."
He said, "We Communis...

feelings. There is thus the necessary comparison
of situations; the slaveholder is free, the slave
is in bondage-certainly a position that the
slaveholder would...
