...might be tormenting him. In his youth he had been a vociferous, stinging pleader for socialism and pacifism. For such views he had seen the inside of many a prison; he had come to loathe confining walls.

Claimed membership: 16,000 regular party members, 400,000 peasant "supporters," 39,000 students...
...fact that the individual hero, Lenin, was present. The evidence: Lenin returned to Russia on April 3, presented his thesis on April 4, called for the overthrow of the Provisional Government by armed insurrection. He demanded immediate cessation of the war against Germany. He cried "turn the imperialist war into a civil war." A bombshell, Lenin's opinions outraged all groups, all members of his own party...
