First of all, Bolshevism represents revolution and the revolutionary struggle.

Christiane Amanpour

And the spirit of revolution will not die while the hearts of these workers continue to beat.
Ernst Toller

We have not made the Revolution, the Revolution has made us.
Georg Buchner

It may be impossible to have a revolution without crimes but that does not make revolution a crime.
