Utter Nonsense.

Bim and Bom were two different clowns. They performed long after 1918 when the article says they were shot. There are numerous sources for this, one being Fueloep-Miller's "The Mind and Face of Bolshevism" (1926, originally in German).

Don't know what Figes was smoking, but the CheKa wouldn't have shot people in the back in front of an audience in 1918 (or any other time). They would have waited until the act was over and quietly arrested them.
