The Program of the Bolsheviks: April ThesisV. I. Lenin

An End to War1. In our attitude towards the war, which under the [Provisional Government] unquestionably remains on Russia's part a predatory imperialist war owing to the capitalist nature of that government, not the slightest concession to a "revolutionary defencism" is permissible. . . .

Rejection of Liberalism2. . . . No support for the Provisional Government; . . . 3. Not a parliamentary republic- to return to a parliamentary republic from the Soviets of Workers' Deputies would be a retrograde step- but a republic of Soviets of Workers', Agricultural Labourers', and Peasants' Deputies throughout the country, from top to bottom.
