Leningrad, Soviet Union. A night of struggle against religion. A roundup of arrests is carried out among members of the Russian religious intelligentsia. This wave of prisoners headed for the gulags joins that of anarchists, Mensheviks, pro-Cadet groups (scientists, academics, artists, writers, engineers, etc.), and the Muzhik kulaks. The overall plan “is not to wage war on individuals, but to exterminate the bourgeoisie as a class,” and conspiracies are everywhere, and to capture those who plot, entire social classes are sent to the gulags.
