Source E: Joseph Berger, a Comintern staff worker imprisoned under Stalin, writing in Italy in 1973 ‘ 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’ Source F: From a school textbook written in 1994 ‘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.
