MUIRHEAD`S MYSTERIES: DID THE AUROCHS SURVIVE INTO THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION OF 1917?

The pdf is from the Albuquerque journal of August 23rd 1917. The story takes place between the February and October 1917 Revolution when the Bolsheviks took power in Russia under Lenin.

The Tsar, played by Jon: "Oh you mob,you mob,you wretched mob,
how dare you hunt my aurochs?
You mob,you mob,you proletarian slobs,

I`ll make you smelly proles have detox”.

The mob, played by Richard Muirhead,Richard Freeman,Corinna Downes,Darren Naish, Dale Drinnon, Max Blake etc etc:

“ Arise ye aurochs from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant
Away with all your hay and fodder
Servile aurochs arise,arise,
We`ll change henceforth zoological orthodoxy
And spurn the dust to win the prize

Refrain; So aurochs come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the auroch race*

(From the Internationale the International Communist Anthem)

  1. It seems certain from the fact that the aurochs in the article are in fact European bison, a small number of which still exist. They are also known as wisent or zubr.
