I am not sure, but is the reason because a certain "leader" (possibly starting with j and ending with oseph stalin) "came to power" before/after these "accidents"? (my guess is based on some lenin documentary i watched a very long time ago, and also because the time is suitable for "them" to come to power because of the time i roughly remember of them coming to power)

1937 was the year of Stalin's "Great Purge", when he cleaned up all the old revolutionaries who could challenge his credentials as The True Hero Of The Working Class(tm).

he cleaned up all the old revolutionaries who could challenge his credentials as The True Hero Of The Working Class™.

did you mean to say god specifically chose the hero of working class and caused "accidents" on the evil who could stop our hero. the way you stated, it felt like you were defaming our hero, and that is most definitely a offence i would have to report.

Another unfortunate coincidence, for sure.

Same with the French Revolution. So many people share the same year of death.
