In the late World War I, tsarist Russia was mired in the quagmire of war, and various domestic contradictions intensified, leading to the February Revolution. After the February Revolution, there appeared a strange situation in which the interim government headed by kerensky and the Soviet regime of workers and peasants coexisted. In April, Lenin returned to Russia, published the Outline of April, and put forward the slogan "All power belongs to the Soviet Union". In this situation, the kerensky administration is prepared to suppress the Bolsheviks and the Soviet regime by force. Personally, I think this is understandable. What's wrong with people defending their political power? It can even be said that it was forced on this road by the Bolsheviks. )
Bolsheviks who succeeded in the strategy of "luring snakes out of the hole" temporarily withdrew the slogan that "all power belongs to the Soviet Union" and began to secretly organize armed revolution.
In June+10, 5438, Zinoviev and Kamenev in the Bolshevik Party opposed Lenin's thoughts and concrete plans on armed uprising and made their plots public.
1917165438+1October 7 (Russian calendar 65438+1October 25) Workers' Red Guards and soldiers in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) held their first armed uprising under the leadership of Lenin and the Bolshevik Party. With the sound of the cruiser "Aphrodite" moored on the Neva River as a signal, workers and soldiers in Petrograd began to attack the Winter Palace, broke into the Winter Palace late at night and arrested members of the interim government. Kerensky fled and the interim government was overthrown.
