Item #: SCP-4024

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Exposure to SCP-4024 and SCP-4024-1 is restricted to C-Class and D-Class Personnel. Anyone exposed to SCP-4024 and SCP-4024-1 is to be administered low-grade amnestics then monitored closely. SCP-4024 is kept in a windowless, soundproof, concrete containment unit. SCP-4024 is granted standard humanoid accommodations, however the following items are forbidden:

-Writing utensils
-Anything that can be an improvised writing utensil
-Paper
-Cameras
-Audio Recorders
-Computers
-Radios
-Electronics in General

Description: SCP-4024 is an animate bronze statue approximately three meters tall. SCP-4024 has a mass of approximately twenty-four metric tons. SCP-4024 resembles a well fit male of Slavic-European features. SCP-4024 believes himself to be a normal factory-worker of Russian descent. SCP-4024 can speak fluent Russian and Ukrainian, and has learned how to speak English while at Site-██. SCP-4024 scored 147 on an IQ test performed by Dr. J█████. SCP-4024 has in depth knowledge of many sciences including but not limited to: Physics, Engineering, Marxism, Biology, and Chemistry. SCP-4024 has a compulsion to write various Marxist theories, which will henceforth be classified as SCP-4024-1.

SCP-4024 is a low grade cognitohazard. Those who have listened to SCP-4024 or read SCP-4024-1 adopt beliefs consistent with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union1. This cognitohazard is present even among those who do not speak the language SCP-4024 is speaking or the written language of SCP-4024-1. Those on the low end of the income distribution become aware of their place in an oppressive system of social classes after exposure. Any capitalists exposed to SCP-4024 or SCP-4024-1 become class traitors. Exposure to SCP-4024 or SCP-4024-1 leads to a compulsion to speak in the language of the proletariat.

While amnestics have been successful at removing memories of SCP-4024 or SCP-4024-1, no amnestics can return a subject to false consciousness.

Interviewed: SCP-4024

Interviewer: Dr. Tuvakhenko

Foreword: Dr. Tuvakhenko had no contact with SCP-4024, direct or indirect prior to the interview.

<Begin Log, ██/██/198█>

Dr. Tuvakhenko: Good morning SCP-4024.

SCP-4024: Comrade, I am more than just a number. Please, call me Ivan Ivanov.

Dr. Tuvakhenko: …Alright Mr. Ivanov. What do you think about your stay with the Foundation?

SCP-4024: Truthfully, I wish I was out in the world in solidarity with my comrades. I wish I was leading the revolution to finally overthrow the international bourgeois capitalist pigs. But being in Site ██ isn't too bad, there is work to be done here too.

Dr. Tuvakhenko: You know the Site designation?

SCP-4024:

Dr. Tuvakhenko: Moving on. Ivan, do you know when you were made?

SCP-4024: I don't think anybody knows when they are made, but Ma says I was born on October 25th, 1917.

Dr. Tuvakhenko: Born? Why don't you describe your appearance for me Ivan?

SCP-4024: You can see me, yes? But for the doctors listening in, I will describe myself. I am a large man with fair skin, brown hair, and brown eyes. Ma always said I had a hard head.

Dr. Tuvakhenko: Could you tell me about your Ma?

SCP-4024: I never knew my real Ma. The first thing I remember is waking in Petrograd where Ma nursed me back to health. I don't know why I call her Ma, it's something I just did. Ma told me she came to Petrograd from a factory, led by a cruel bourgeois master, where the workers were nothing but slaves. She told me they built wondrous things at this factory, and I was her finest child. I don't know where she went after the revolution, probably back to that factory. She was an amazing woman.

Dr. Tuvakhenko: Interesting. Why don't you tell me about the revolution?

SCP-4024: The revolution… Those days were the flame of my life. We were bringing an end to the oppression of the Tsars, and the workers were taking control of their lives for the first time. I wish I could go back to those early days.

Dr. Tuvakhenko: I completely understand. Thank you for your time.

SCP-4024: And thank you.
