Chapter IV — “April of the Seventeenth” — Easter 1917.
— Lenin’s meeting at the Finland Station.
— Colchak’s “Sevastopol miracle.”
— Kerensky’s success in public speeches.
— Many episodes of “people’s rule” in the army and the rear.
— On April 20, Lenin organizes the first Bolshevik test of strength.
Shooting in the streets at the unarmed. Slogans: “Down with Milyukov!”, “Down with the Provisional Government!” From the morning of April 21—an outburst of the unarmed volunteers from the intelligentsia going out into the streets to defend power “from the Red Guards”; they—shoot. Wounded, killed, loud arguments and fights in the streets. Anxious negotiations between members of the Executive Committee and the Provisional Government—how to extinguish the conflict, but it doesn’t calm down all day.
— Unforeseen resistance from the educated Petrograd public to the Bolsheviks—this changed Lenin’s plans: we’ll postpone the civil war for now!
Echoes of the April crisis in Petrograd reach Moscow. A Cossack congress in Novocherkassk. Hunger is the judge of the revolution. Front delegates in the Tauride Palace. Gen. Kornilov resigns from command of the Petrograd district. The Congress of Supreme Commanders—in Stavka and in Petrograd. A conflict-laden formation of a coalition of the Provisional Government with the socialists. Guchkov’s departure. Milyukov’s resignation. Kerensky—Minister of Naval Affairs. The revolutionary career of Lev Trotsky.
