The Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Latin America - Paperback

by Gualdo Hidalgo (Author)

In the beginning there was chaos, personified in the transmutation of Lenin in the essential deity of Marxism during the conflagration of the Russian Revolution of 1917. The Kingdom of Heaven proclaimed by the Son of God, and the ancillary dream of Paradise restored after the expulsion promulgated by God was replaced by a reign of terror, offered to the Russian people by the sweetener propaganda of the Bolshevik Party as the ultimate realization of paradise on Earth. Frantically crossing the Russian tundra, with the excruciating crunch of hooves cracking the bones and flesh of its victims, the Beast of the Apocalypse arrives triumphantly in Havana in January, 1959. In apotheosis of cheers and clamor of revolutionary slogans, whose deafening echoes resound in streets and squares, an unwary people celebrate the beginning of their extermination, persecution and imprisonment. https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9-GidpjKsk
