1917 Bolshivik Revolution - Lenin's Leadership

How Important Was Lenin To The Successful Bolshevik Seizure Of Power In October 1917?

Men make their own history...they do not make it

In any account of history, it is difficult to determine weather the crucial roles were played by individuals or by historical forces beyond the control of any individual. There is on one hand the argument that it is the actions of great individuals that has created the turning points in world history. Aligned with this is the historical argument that it was the activities of Lenin in October 1917, which explains why Russia was a communist nation for so many decades.
