A/N: I wrote this story in tribute to all those who died in the USSR under the oppressive government, and for all those (including my parents, grandparents, and extended family) who had to live through the hell hole that Lenin created in 1917.
This short fanfic portrays what would've happened if the cul-de-sac kids were living in Czarist Russia that was abruptly taken by the communists. This story may seem gruesome, but once we begin to censor history, we are doomed to repeat it, at the highest cost.
And without further adieu, enjoy.
The cul-de-sac kids rushed to the streets to see what the commotion was all about. As they got into the streets with the large masses of the city of Petrograd, their eyes got wide as they saw what was happening.
Communists, a whole parade of them, marching with red flags as they entered the former Czar's palace, and in the middle of them, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, or Lenin as he had come to be known.
The guards were eying the crowd to see who was not saluting the new regime. Those who were not saluting would be shot.
Eddy saw the guards coming past him. He did not want to salute the new regime. A Soviet guard came up to Eddy and shot him point blank.
Double D came out of the library and saw the communists walking past. He was ordered to salute the new leader, the pig faced Lenin. Double D said nothing, but instead began to make the sign of the cross. He was shot before he could finish.
Ed and Sarah, two Jewish children living in St. Petersburg both spat upon the ground that the communists walked on. Ed was hanged while his little sister was given the mercy of a quick death by being shot.
Kevin was packing all his belongings and planning to run away to the next ship to America. There he could at least be free. As he was running away a Red Army guard spotted him and shot Kevin three times in the back. His backpack was looted for all valuables. Lenin ordered all the precious items be delivered to him.
Nazz lifted her hand in the form of a salute, but in her hand she held an Orthodox Cross. She was shot right there on the spot.
Rolf yelled out in Russian, "What have we done? We overthrew the leader who cared about us and let in power-hungry tyrants!" Rolf was publically beheaded the next day.
Jimmy, enraged by the murder of his best friend Sarah began to throw rocks at the communists, one nearly hitting Trotsky. Jimmy was hung next to Ed. His last request was to be buried next to Sarah. The communists were given special orders to bury him and Sarah in opposite ends of the cemetery.
Johnny grabbed his sword, handed down to him by his father, threw Plank as far away as he could and yelled "Get away from this country and never come back!" Johnny ran into the crowd of Bolsheviks with the sword, attempting to slaughter them. Heroic as his actions may have been, he was shot down before coming close to the ground.
They were the first of many. Until 1991, many people would suffer from prosecution, gulags, starvation, and an oppressive government all because of the work of one horrible man.
