I believe it's short for "Marx, Engels, Lenin: Organizers of the Revolution", which makes sense in Russian: Мэлор.
This acronym originally was one letter longer: MELSOR, - with 'S' standing for Stalin. The letter was dropped after Nikita Khrushchev denounced Stalin in 1956.
I've read that another form was Melsor (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, October Revolution), but it was changed into Melor when people started to realise what an a**hole Stalin was.
Does the female name Melora have anything to do with Melor?
Has anyone stopped to think that the Cyrillic form of 'Marx Engels Lenin October Revolution' is 'Ìàðêñ Ýíãåëüñ Ëåíèíà ðåâîëþöèÿ îêòÿáðÿ' or MÝËPO- which would be Melro in the Roman alphabet, not Melor? Just a thought.
