 Unsurprisingly, the sculpture consolidated unto itself much of the Expo's attention that year, inspiring near-universal acclaim & awe, & drawing the eyes of the World. Who could resist the sublime grandeur of that pair of beautiful Soviet giants, stood tall against the backdrop of violet Parisian skies (paraphrasing a smitten Picasso)?! <br> 
 The sculpture seemed to proclaim the full maturation and arrival of the first young generation reared in the USSR, and who held neither memories nor ethical residue of the rotten pre-Revolutionary empire. <br>

-Back in the USSR that year, triumphant and tensely, desperately, tragically narrow-zealed Stalinist administrators busy systematically erasing the last, as it seemed to them, vestiges of the Old World, had collectively burst under the dialectic strain of hope and paranoia into a murderous and self-destructive psychosis... <br>

+Meanwhile, back in the USSR that year, a tragically tense & desperately narrow-zealed triumphantly self-vulgarizing Stalinist apparatchiks were busy systematically erasing the last, as it seemed to them, vestiges of the Old World: their own friends & comrades (or/and desk/podium competitors), as well as (not so infrequently) themselves, under all sorts of direct & indirect pretexts.  <br> 
+Though on the level of individuals and specific cases, there was a vast diversity of varied motivations underlying how and why this or that local party administrator or police investigator or political trial judge or jury or NKVD agent or newspaper editor or casual informant (etc...) contributed and facilitated the purges, across all these disparate acts of peer-dooming ran certain oddly coherent subtexts. 
+Every purge (and not just in Soviet history) has such subtexts, and they can also be very different from context to context. <br> 
+In any case, though Politburo or the General Secretary Stalin did not themselves look into or had much of a say regarding most of the names on the execution lists, what they initiated and informed was excatly this subtext, the hidden logic of the proceedings, complete with a very specific, if counterintuitive, prime target. <br> 
+What was this targe? Well, in '37/'38's bloodiest and most inhumane (and exponentially) so of all the purges, the prime target were former and current Leftist-leaning intellectuals/activists. <br>  
+It seems that following many prefugurations, the Stalinist machine had finally and collectively burst full wild under the long dialectic strain of hope and paranoia into a murderous and self-destructive psychosis... <br> 
+...target for elimination this demographic (with others mainly swept up by proxy/inertia): anyone who had been in any way politically active in the late 1910s and early 1920s, mainly lifelong Bolsheviks. <br> 
 In effect, in 1937 & 1938 there took place in the USSR a veiled (and to this day, mis-categorized) anti-Communist genocide orchestrated by Communists, and which resulted in the violent elimination of 90% of surviving communists & socialists active before and during the Revolution, and/or were influential in the 1920s. <br> 
 Alongside them were eliminated most Civil War-era Red Army veteran officers.  Why?  One theory is horrifyingly simple: to make way for the young. And if by 1940 there were still a few mentors around for these youths to turn to, it just so happened that very few of those mentors had ever lay eyes on Marx's Das Kapital. <br>
