Så jävla fett att bolsjevikerna (innan revolutionen) tillhörde världens främsta bankrånare.

"The 1907 Tiflis bank robbery was an armed robbery by Bolshevik revolutionaries of a bank cash shipment in the Georgian city of Tiflis. The robbery occurred on 26 June 1907 in Yerevan Square. The bank stagecoach was attacked while transporting money between the Post Office and the Tiflis branch of the State Bank of the Russian Empire. The robbers attacked the bank stagecoach and surrounding security forces using bombs and guns in the crowded city square resulting in the deaths of forty people and the injuring of fifty others, according to official archive documents. The robbers escaped the attack with 341,000 rubles (estimated as US $3.4 million in 2008) from the robbery. The robbery was planned and/or executed by many high-level Bolsheviks, including Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, to fund their revolutionary activities."

40 döda! Till saken hör att Stalin till och med deltog i själva rånet (och således i dödandet)! Säga vad man vill om hans senare verksamhet som diktator, men nog är det ballt, och inte mer än rätt, att han var en framgångsrik bankrånare i sin ungdom. Och som Brecht sa: bättre att råna en bank än att grunda en.
