   • 1968 [1905], Vladmir Lenin, “Социализм и религия”, in В. И. Ленин – Полное собрание сочинений, volume 12, page 146; English translation from “Socialism and Religion”, in V. I. Lenin – Collected Works, volume 10, 1978, page 86:

     Было бы буржуазной ограниченностью забывать о том, что гнет религии над человечеством есть лишь продукт и отражение экономического гнета внутри общества.

     Bylo by buržuaznoj ograničennostʹju zabyvatʹ o tom, što gnet religii nad čelovečestvom jestʹ lišʹ produkt i otraženije ekonomičeskovo gneta vnutri obščestva.

     It would be bourgeois narrow-mindedness to forget that the yoke of religion that weighs upon mankind is merely a product and reflection of the economic yoke within society.
