The Most Significant Part of the Russian Revolution Was This All-Night Meeting
The most significant part of the Russian Revolution was this all-night meeting, done with the lights, mostly off and the candle light. Lenin reaches across the table and picks up a pencil and a children's exercise book, the only paper to hand. He scrolls a note to record that the committee is agreed, and armed uprising is inevitable, and the time is perfectly ripe. Prime Minister Kerensky appears to welcome the challenge, daring them to do it.
