Although it was the product of two separate revolutions,
盡管它是兩個獨立開來的革命產物
and although it rejected everything about the Tsarist regime, it wound up being a different flavor of the same old tyranny.
盡管它拒絕了沙皇政權的一切，但最終還是換湯不換藥，成為了一樣的專制
The General Secretary of the Communist Party replaced the Tsar,
共產黨的總書記代替了沙皇
the Communist Party leadership, the nomenklatura replaced the nobility, and the Communist Party itself replaced the Russian Orthodox Church.
共產黨領導人，權貴階層代替了貴族，共產黨自己代替了俄羅斯東正教派
The only major difference was the Soviets' excessive cruelty.
唯一的主要不同就是蘇維埃的過度殘暴
The Soviets executed, tortured, starved, relocated, and otherwise mistreated more people than even Ivan the Terrible could have imagined.
蘇維埃處死、拷問、餓死，遷移和虐待的民眾，要比伊凡大帝的所作所為還要令人發指
It is sad indeed that the peoples of the Eastern European client states and the Baltic republics had to show the Russian people the way. But at least it happened.
事實上，東歐附庸國和波羅的海共和國還得為俄國人民指明道路，但至少這一切發生了
The sheer ineptitude of the Soviet leadership helped, no doubt, as did the Western countries' determination to hold the line against Communist encroachment.
蘇維埃領導人的愚蠢行為毫無疑問幫助西方國家堅定信心抵制共產主義的侵蝕
Those brave people in Communist countries who resisted against all odds like brave Hungarians, Czech's and Poles also contributed.
那些共產主義國家的勇敢人民抵抗著所有的一切，比如勇敢的匈牙利人，捷克人民和波蘭人民也做出了貢獻
