Communist Politicians (Soviet Union)
46. Lev Borisovich Kamenev
(1883-1936, member of the Politburo during the regime of Joseph Stalin, he was purged for opposing Stalin's dictatorship.)
Communists are following the wrong path. If you continue on this way, you will all become extinct.
I confess that God clearly exists. We humans were created as precious personalities in the position of God's children. We are all brothers and sisters receiving God's love. When Communist Party members and Communist countries come to know Unification Principle and Unification Thought, they will all spin round and round and lose their minds. Even though we all claim to be one brother and sisterhood, we have oppressed, kicked, struck, fought with and killed each other because of our selfish lust for power and fame. What are we to do?
Reverend Sun Myung Moon has loved his enemies, and Jesus prayed on the cross that those who crucified him might be blessed. Communist Party members and people of Communist countries, how have we lived in fact? Let's reflect on ourselves. I, Kamenev, know that I must love my enemies, but how can I do it? The Unification Principle is an incredible truth that recreates human beings. I am hearing this precious Principle, but I still cannot forgive my enemies.
Party members, the path we now follow was a path of destruction from the beginning. God's desire is to live happily with His children eternally in this place, the spirit world. But human beings on Earth have no idea that they have a Parent, so they fight and struggle against each other, and kill each other. Here we go through a period during which we suffer punishment for the wrong ways in which we lived in the past. That is our life in Hell. After paying for our sins, we will be able to live in a parent-child relationship with God. How can I possibly explain everything about the situation here? If it is not the right path, and not the truth, then you must turn back without a second thought. Communists are following the wrong path. If you continue on this way, you will all become extinct. Because God, as the Parent, loves His children eternally, He sent Reverend Sun Myung Moon to teach Communist countries how their philosophies are wrong. So you must receive his detailed guidance and carefully study the Unification Principle and Unification Thought.
Communist Party members must be contrite and acknowledge that their opinions on the dignity of human beings, the existence of God and the future world are utterly wrong. The soul definitely has a life in this place. You must correct all that you did wrong while you are still on Earth. Before you come here, to your eternal place in the world of the soul, you must know God correctly. Before you come here, you must prepare yourselves centering on Godism and practice it. It is the law of Heaven that you must receive punishment for your sins.
Party members! Remember this point well. I have briefly communicated to you the suffering and pains I experience here, and the situation here, so remember it well.
47. Aleksandr Fyodorovich Kerensky
(1881-1970, chief of the temporary government established by the February Revolution who lost power to Lenin's Bolsheviks as a result of the October Revolution.)
Walk the path of true persons.
We Communist Party members pounded on each other, clawed at each other, spied on each other, and were focused only on power. As a result, in this world we live as animals.
Party members and people of Communist countries! We said, There is no soul. There is no world after death. There is no God. Where is God? We lived as crazy people who sought only power. Yet the world after death exists, and viewed from the standpoint of its clear order and discipline, we lived our lives wrongly. I cannot possibly adequately express the extreme sadness I feel now. At this moment, we are not able to live with human beings. Instead, we live in fear of being captured by a wild beast and dragged into its lair. It is natural that anyone who strays outside the law of Heaven will suffer punishment. There are no excuses here. I came to this seminar, despite my shame, because it gives me the opportunity to live again.
Party members! People of Communist countries! We were ignorant and lived our lives in error. God exists. He exists as our Parent, and we are His children. Now from the spirit world, I, Kerensky, am sending you these words with a heart of concern. So please correct your erroneous path and receive the guidance of Reverend Sun Myung Moon on Earth. He is our True Parent sent by God, so please fully receive his guidance and walk the path of true persons. If you think incorrectly about God, you can only go the way of death and destruction. Please remember this point.
I now believe in God, and have realized the standard of absolute value. I will cut myself off completely from my past and live a new life.
48. Alexsei Kosygin
(1904-1980, Soviet Premier during the Brezhnev era.)
No one can escape the law of Heaven.
Hearing the Unification Principle has made me acknowledge God's real existence even more than before. I was not able to acknowledge the existence of God and the world after death during my life on Earth, but I have recognized and experienced them here. It has shattered much of the ideological framework that I believed in during my life on Earth. Communist thought had not a few contradictions within itself from the beginning. The Unification Principle demolishes Communist thought unsparingly. Because its starting point was wrong, its content could not but become distorted over time. Communist Party members! I, Kosygin, live here with only feelings of disappointment and failure. We Party members have lived the wrong way until now. We are treading the wrong path.
I dare to shout this out: Communism will be destroyed. The reason is simple: God has existed all this time as the Parent of humanity, and the world after death exists. Yet the path we have taken until now makes us enemies of God. We have been unfilial in the worst way towards our Heavenly Father. Right now, I wish I could find a rat hole and hide there. Yet God has been working from the position of our Parent in order to save us. Therefore, with a heart of thorough repentance I send this message to the people on Earth. There is definitely a law of Heaven decreeing that those who sin must receive punishment here. No one can escape the law of Heaven.
I sincerely request to Party members that they attend Reverend Sun Myung Moon, who is on Earth, and receive his teaching about what is wrong with Communist thought. He holds the key to the salvation of Party members. I sincerely ask you to believe him, obey him, and follow the correct path. God as the True Parent of humankind has sent Reverend Sun Myung Moon. The world after death definitely exists, so for the sake of the life of your souls be careful not to transgress the law of Heaven.
49. Sergei Kirov
(1886-1934, a leader of the Leningrad Party who was purged by Stalin.)
I want to cut myself off from my past life that was in violation of the law of Heaven, and live the correct way henceforth.
Have you ever hated someone so much that even killing him would not be enough to satisfy your desire for revenge? I, Kirov, met such an enemy here. It would not have satisfied me to just kill him with a gun. I wanted to rip the flesh from his body piece by piece, then stomp on him and watch his entrails burst out of his body that is how much I hated this enemy whom I met here. Yet what pains me even more than this hatred is the feeling of meaninglessness that comes from the knowledge that Communist thought is a lie. Even more than the hatred that I feel toward that enemy, I am pained by the thought that I lived all my life wrongly as a result of my belief in Communism. The agony I feel over this is unbearable. It dominates all other feelings.
My purpose in coming to this seminar is to become a new person. During my time in this world, I have been dwelling inside a fiery kiln. Countless people run here and there trying to escape the heat. They spend lifetimes like this. I confess everything honestly. I want to cut myself off from the wrong way of living, my past life that was in violation of the law of Heaven, and live in the correct way henceforth.
God definitely exists. The afterlife exists. The Unification Principle lecturers here serve by sacrificing everything for us. They are genuinely warm and humble. When we came here to the spirit world, those of us identified as Communist Party members were separated into various refugee camps. We were so suddenly transported from our dwellings to the seminar place, that it is difficult for me to describe how the others are dressed and how they look. Each one does his best not to let on how he has been living, althoughit is easy to guess from their facial appearances. I have made a new determination to be born again centering on Godism.
Party members, comrades! You must live correctly centering on the new thought. You must prepare thoroughly while you are on Earth, so that you do not have to live as we do when you come here. Also, I have a final request. You must receive the teachings of Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the True Parent of humankind, so that you can correctly understand the essential value of human life and live accordingly. I hope that you will firmly believe that God is the Parent of us human beings.
50. Gregory Zinoviev
(1883-1936, member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union who stood with Trotsky against Stalin. He was later executed.)
There is a place where your soul will spend eternity.
I, Zinoviev, am a sinner among sinners. The Unification Principle teaches the fundamentals of life. On learning it, I now feel such regret and despair over my past life. It hurts me in every cell of my body and even to the morrow of my bones. Who can understand my pain? I will confess everything here and begin anew. Even though life on Earth passes away after a short time, I lived believing that it would last forever. Here in the afterworld, military might, power, and political authority are of no use whatever, and I cannot understand how I could have lived like such a merciless crazy man. My dwelling-place here is the result of my incorrect life on Earth. I am in a dark stable, and there are cobwebs all around. Why do I live here? It is so that no one will see me.
One day, though, people came shouting and broadcasting my name everywhere. They had a list of names, and they were going from house to house and place-to-place to find the people on the list. It was impossible for me to hide any longer. I thought I would be taken to a place of execution. But this is amazing. This is a place where they call sinners and deal with them kindly, even though they lived their lives in a wrong way. And they teach us the right way to live. God exists. He exists as our Parent. You, too, are all God's children. I never knew that there was such a wonderful place as this in the world after death.
The lecturers earnestly asked us to help people on Earth understand these facts. Also, God sent Reverend Sun Myung Moon, and he is working day and night in order to guide Communists to the correct way of living centering on the Unification Principle. Communist Party members, you must receive his guidance and throw away all of your erroneous philosophies, ideologies, and opinions. The path of Communism leads to destruction. You must understand the heart of Zinoviev, who conveys this message to you from the afterlife. Think deeply and carefully about the life of your soul. Know that there is a place where your soul will spend eternity. Gregory Zinoviev, April 28, 2002.
51. Nikolay Ivonovich Bukharin
(1888-1938, Soviet leader who allied with Stalin after Lenin's death and fought against Trotsky and Zinoviev. He was later purged and executed.)
Why couldn't we have treated people as human beings?
How can I apologize for my wrong life in a way that will let my heart find peace? Why couldn't I recognize that God exists while I was on Earth? Innumerable people on Earth have the same appearance. Regardless of their crime, the many people whom we purged were human just like us. Why couldn't we have treated them as human beings? After all, all people are God's children. I don't think anyone can look at me as I now stand here and not turn away. I am completely naked. People follow me wherever I go and tear off whatever clothes I may be wearing, so it is impossible for me to wear anything. In this education center they treat me as a human being, so I am able to cover myself. The shame of my appearance is terrible, beyond description. I don't know how it is that I could suddenly be here, wearing clothes and listening to the Unification Principle. Here, too, there are those who shout that I should be stripped of my clothing, but I am saved by the love of the lecturers and their ability to maintain order.
Party members! I have received Heaven s punishment. God exists, and the soul is created to live forever. God and human beings were intended to form a relationship of parent and child and live together forever. But, Party members! Please save me. When you deeply understand Godism and the existence of the world after death, both you and I will be saved. There is one thing that you must keep in mind if you wish to live correctly. Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the True Parent of humankind, is on Earth. He is the one who, by the revelation of God, has proclaimed the Unification Principle. I ask you to study the Unification Principle in detail and receive his teaching. Then you will discover the path that you must go. Please think about this point deeply.
52. Georgy Valentinovich Plekhanov
(1856-1918, the first Russian Marxist. Born in an aristocratic family, he participated in the narodniki movement. He translated the Communist Manifesto into Russian, and as leader of the Mensheviks he stood in conflict with Lenin's Bolsheviks.)
Communism& must completely be uprooted from the Earth.
I, Plekhanov, lived my life wrongly. My life was a great mistake. Marxism was wrong in its origin. I didn't know this on Earth, but after coming to this place I have been thoroughly regretting and lamenting. I long for human company, but I have a miserable appearance here that makes me fearful of letting others see me. I have had to live in the lowest realm of existence. I am truly grateful that now my sin and punishment have been covered with forgiveness and love, so that I could be permitted this new and hopeful opportunity.
The Party members, philosophers and politicians of Communist countries are all living wrongly. They must discard completely their politics and ideas. Even the final remnants must be washed away. Clearly, the spirit world exists, in which the soul lives eternally. Communism and its thought, which trampled at will on God's beloved children, must be completed uprooted from the Earth. I, Plekhanov, am watching that from here. It is a law of Heaven that if you live wrongly you must receive punishment. No one executes you or administers the punishment. Here in the spirit world, everyone goes their destined way on their own.
Party members! God exists as the Parent of humankind. I have made my determination to thoroughly repent for my past and to live with total dedication centering on Godism. Furthermore, there is one person from whom you should receive correct guidance regarding your lives while you are on Earth. God sent Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the True Parent, in order to guide you on the right path. I strongly encourage you to follow his teachings. His new thought will lead humankind to the correct future. Those who do not believe it will be forced to wander in a place of fearful punishment here.
53. Vyacheslav Molotov
(1890-1986, worked with Stalin, forcibly pursued establishing One Nation Socialism. Frushichov later defeated him while confronting him.)
Communism will definitely fall.
I, Molotov, lived a wrong life. Such a voice of lamentation and regret did not leave from my heart. I was living here in such suffering and pain. However, God has granted me a chance to be liberated from such misery. Since God is the Parent of all humanity, such a wretched sinner as I was given a chance to be forgiven. A large placard was posted: Anyone who has lived a wrong life, come forward to reveal his or her own sins and crimes and repent. I hesitated repeatedly, but I finally decided to come here in order to expose my own wrongdoings of the past. I now come to realize that God truly exists and He is the Parent of humankind.
During my Earthly life, I abused my power and authority. I am now covered with blood from constantly being stoned. No matter how much I try to avoid stones and rocks, they are constantly being thrown upon me. Despite living in such an environment, my awareness of being a sinner is more painful than the baptism of rocks and stones. Although God exists surely, during my Earthly life, I treated Him merely like a stone or a pebble . How could I ever avoid the consequence? The Unification Principle systematically explained the purpose and direction of human life. Even before listening to the Principle, I realized the existence of God and life after death. Thus, my pain is greater, even to an intolerable extent.
Dear Communist comrades, Communism will most definitely fall. It is so because it is not truth. Listen to me. The reality is that Communist thinkers and leaders are being punished after coming to the spirit world. Communist parties and members will have to uproot their wrong ideas. Reverend Sun Myung Moon is living on the Earth. Unless you inherit His ideology, you will never live a true life. I hope that you will keep in mind that God is alive and that the spirit world truly exists.
54. Lavrenti Beria
(1899-1953, Person in charge of Soviet national security and the police; used terrorism and incited fear during Stalin's regime)
One should change his view of life, centered on Godism.
Dear Communist party members, thinkers and politicians, I, Beria, appeal to you, shouting: God exists! So does the life after death. God is the Parent of humankind, and we are His children. God is not only the Being of Christian faith, but He is also the Parent of all humanity. Therefore, dear Communists, I can say that I did not live my life well. Communism is not the right path for humankind to walk. Therefore, Communists must return to God as soon as possible. While living on Earth, I did not believe that the spirit world existed, but after coming here, I am indemnifying the sins and crimes I committed on Earth. I did not want to reveal my identity to anyone; but I was somehow brought here as a criminal.
However, this workshop for the Unification Principle is not to punish sinners or criminals. It is a place to educate people so that they can repent for their wrongdoings committed in the past and the present; and to understand that God is the Parent of humankind; and to realize that all human beings should live as brothers and sisters. I was deeply moved by the fact that such a place exists. Here, we do not need power or honor. No one controls others, but everyone is educated peacefully and harmoniously. Here, no matter how sinful one may be, every one is treated with respect and dignity. This is such a mysterious and touching place. The Unification Principle educates people to attend God as the Parent and live with Reverend Sun Myung Moon as the True Parent of humankind. Thus Earthly people should also change their view of life centered on Godism.
Dear Communist comrades, we lived a wrongful life and are still continuing to live such a life. We must thoroughly repent and be educated by True Parents. I beg this of you from the bottom of my heart.
