Transcript | ponsibility for the Lena massacres rests not only upon the tools of the Czar, but also upon certain western European capitalists who were the owners of the Lena mines, and who instigated the massacres. But it is not necessary to go as far back as the pre-war period in order to compare the old with the new. Not a single voice has been raised by those in power in protest against the horrible massacres of Finnish workingmen and women in the spring and summer of 1918. Nearly ten thousand workingmen and women were executed by the Finnish White Guard and by the Germans, and over twenty thousand were sent into cruel slavery to Germany. And in Russia today, wherever the counter-revolutionists succeed in seizing the power, a bloody massacre takes place directed against members of the Soviet. At any time we would invite statisticians to compile the number of massacres on both sides and there is no doubt that the number of those massacred by the old will mount sky high in comparison with the number of the victims of the new.
