‘I honestly believe that there was a movement before 1917

towards Revolution which nothing could have broken or stopped.

It was this movement which brought Lenin to power. The reason

why the Bolsheviks came to power is, I believe, because at that

moment they had the people behind them. It was the people, not

Lenin who made the Revolution’

‘The Bolshevik Party was waging a determined struggle to win over

the masses. The struggle was headed by Lenin, who led and guided

the Party’s central committee. He frequently addressed mass

rallies and meetings. Lenin’s speeches, noted for their intelligent

content and brilliant delivery, inspired workers and soldiers. The

Bolshevik Party’s membership began to grow rapidly’
