Thank God the priests are dead and stenographers type memos where machine-gunned clerics bled. We were surprised to hear that the revolutionaries were atheists. It should not have surprised us as it did. We had forgotten that the rabble teemed the lower city and walked in rags and prayed to St. Basil year by year. But the Saint was far too busy with the Czars to hear. It cost St. Basil everything to be so uppity.
