‘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’
Why do sources B and C have different views about who led
the Bolshevik seizure of power? (8 marks)
