Lenin's First Speech on June 4

Kerensky responded with a speech chiding lenin for demanding wildly plausible gambits that would risk the gains of february. Kerensky said germany would probably not come to the table unless they were defeated in battle, or unless the kaiser was overthrown by the german people. Lenin believed in the power of action. Revolutions were ultimately made by deeds and not words. The bolsheviks may not have huge numbers throughout the empire, but they had key strongholds in the capital,. A now heavily fortified working class district and kronstadt naval base.
