"‘Who, except hopeless bureaucrats, can rely on written documents alone? Who, except archive rats, does not understand that a party and its leaders must be tested primarily by their deeds . . . Lenin taught us to test revolutionary parties, trends and leaders not by their declarations and resolutions, but by their deeds.’"

Stalin.
