Socialism in Europe and the Russia

Question

Describe Lenin’s ‘April Theses’.

Answer

In April 1917, the Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin returned to Russia from his exile. He and the Bolsheviks had opposed the war since 1914. Now he felt it was time for Soviets to take over power. He declared that the war be brought to a close, land be transferred to the peasants, and banks be nationalised.
These three demands were Lenin's April Theses.’
