Chapter 20: The Bolsheviks Who Became Bigger

After meeting Lenin, Hersmann's "Soviet Representative and Chairman of the Soldiers' Council" came to an end - this was supposed to give him some revolutionary experience, but this could not be allowed to become his job in Petersburg.

In addition, Lenin gave him a new place to live - to work in secret was to move frequently, and it was dangerous to stay in one place all the time. And at the same time as moving, you also need to change your identity. He, along with Chloe, Ettel and others, will take on the identity of friends of the American Socialist Party. At the same time, they changed back to the pseudonym they used in Switzerland. Hersmann became Otto again. Braun.

As the Bolsheviks grew in power in Petersburg, they also had more resources at their disposal. So Lenin decided to arrange a more comfortable and at the same time more secluded accommodation for Hersmann and others - a villa in Tsarskaya Village.

Tsarskaya Village, located about 25 kilometers south of the city of St. Petersburg, was later the city of Pushkin (renamed on the 100th anniversary of Pushkin's death) and was the largest palace of the Tsarist family. The surrounding scenery is very beautiful, and there are splendid palaces such as Catherine Palace and Alexander Palace. In addition, there are countless luxury villas here, all of which are the residences of the powerful people of Tsarist Russia.

And now, the whole Tsarschasmen Village is under the complete control of the Petersburg garrison - because the family of Tsar Nicholas II, who abdicated the throne, is now imprisoned here!

Originally, Lenin and the Bolsheviks could not reach Tsars' Village. But after ten or twenty days of activity, the Bolsheviks had taken control of the soldiers' councils of several regiments stationed here. Therefore, Lenin bought a villa for Hersmann and others in Tsars' Village, which is said to be even more beautiful than Chloe's house in Switzerland, and is only two or three kilometers away from the Alexandria Palace, where the Tsar lived. If you live there, you might even see His Majesty the Tsar!

“…… No one will give us salvation, no God, no tsar, no hero. We will win our liberation with our own hands. Throw away the oppression with skillful hands and take back everything that belongs to us! ”

The familiar singing voice sounded in Hesman's ears again, interrupting his thoughts. He had not yet arrived at Tsars' Village, and was sitting in a tattered open-top carriage, escorted by a middle-aged revolutionary in his forties, who had just returned to St. Petersburg, with a thin complexion and a goatee. The man's name was Felix. Edmondovich. Dzerzhinsky - right! It is the founder of the formidable Cheka organization, the steely Dzerzhinsky! He was now sitting next to Hessman, looking at Chloe and Etter across from him with an expressionless face, and the cold glint in his eyes made the more sensitive Chloe uncomfortable.

But there is no need for this German female spy to worry about anything now, because the Cheka organization has not yet been formed, and it only appeared after the October Revolution. Moreover, she was an old friend of Comrade Lenin......

The carriage stopped on the side of the road in the Vyborg district and was greeted by a procession – which is normal in Petersburg today, and Hersmann would have been surprised if he had not encountered a parade on a given day. However, the parade he encountered today was a little unusual. So much so that after arriving in Tsars' Village, he sent a special telegram to Berlin, describing what he saw.

On the telegram, he said: "About a hundred armed men are in front; They were followed by a dense line of unarmed men and women, numbering about a thousand. On both sides, they pulled human chains and sang songs. Their faces frightened me. There was only one face of all these thousand people, the fanatical countenance of the early Christian monks, irreconcilable, merciless, ready to kill, torture, and die. ”

"Oh my God! Who are they? Where to go? Chloe also noticed the men and asked in a somewhat uneasy voice.

"Go to Maria's Palace." Dzerzhinsky replied.

"Maria's Palace? Isn't that where the Provisional Government is? Etel's red nose also smelled unusual.

"They went to overthrow the Provisional Government!" Dzerzhinsky answered truthfully.

"With what?" Chloe asked, frowning.

"Life!" Hersman already knows the answer. This group of protesters, who were instigated by the Bolsheviks, were sent to their deaths...... Of course, there will be no death, but a few tragic deaths, custody can arouse the greatest indignation and dissatisfaction with the Provisional Government. This kind of thing is very common in later generations, what ****, what hunger strike, what peaceful protests when the military and police shoot. As long as a few people die, the pressure on the government will immediately increase greatly, and what dictatorship, what opposition, what ****, what big hat with the blood of the people on his hands will be pressed down one by one. When the time comes, it will be a big thing and a big thing, and the establishment will either step down or send tanks to wash the floor.

And for the current Provisional Government, there are no tanks, and there are also in the hands of the army that has long since disobeyed the command. So once things get bigger, they can only step down...... Of course, it was impossible to change the Bolsheviks to power, and the Bolsheviks did not have such strength.

"Comrade Lenin wants to bring the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks to power?" Hersman asked knowingly again. He had long known this history - the October Revolution overthrew Kerensky's Provisional Government. He knew this, but he didn't know that Kerensky was ******** by Lenin.

Dzerzhinsky looked at Hersmann with a look of appreciation in his eyes - as a newcomer to the Russian political struggle, and at such a young age, he could see the crux of the problem in an incomparably complex situation. It's so rare, this person ...... The future will definitely be promising!

"Otto, you say that Lenin wanted the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks to come to power?" The fat man Etter didn't understand the key, shaking his fat head and asking.

Hersman smiled slightly, and did not answer immediately, but looked at Chloe, as if trying to test her political wisdom.

"I think Lenin wanted the Bolsheviks to be the biggest opposition party!" By this time the procession of martyrs had moved away in the direction of Palazzo Maria.

Chloe turned her head, looked at the distant procession, and sighed softly: "The best outcome is actually the willingness of the Cadets, the Progressive Party and the October Party to form a grand coalition government with the Social Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks. Then the Bolsheviks would have become the main opposition, and all those dissatisfied with the Provisional Government would have gathered under its banner. ”

Good analysis! Hersman couldn't help but nod his head in appreciation, this woman is very politically savvy, but she is not playing iron-blooded politics. Chloe certainly couldn't guess the Mentor's thunderous methods, but she must be very familiar with the gameplay of democratic constitutionalism.

Lenin's current approach to Kerensky's coming to power should be the rules of the game for democratic constitutionalism. The opposition and the DPRK take turns to sit in the bank -- if it is changed to another game of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, Kerensky should not fight the Germans who cannot be defeated at all, but should eliminate Lenin and the Bolsheviks!

But the current political struggle in Russia still follows the rules of constitutionalism, so Lenin could bring all the opposition under the banner of the Bolsheviks by Gong Kerensky to power. Then wait quietly for Kerensky and others to make mistakes - and the war policy they pursued, the refusal to distribute land immediately, the inability to solve the problem of workers' bread, etc., had already decided the fate of this coalition government.

By the time Kerensky had suffered a major defeat in a military adventure, the Social Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks would have become disgraced, and Lenin's supporters would have grown stronger, and the time would be ripe for attack.

After the victory of the revolution, Lenin was able to achieve a peace "without land cession and without reparations". Such a peace would give the Bolsheviks great prestige and support them in carrying out land reform throughout Russia. With the two dividends of peace and land reform, the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks could not compete with the Bolsheviks in any case.

However, Comrade Lenin did not calculate that the Germans would turn their faces and deny him, so he stabbed him several times and forced the Bolsheviks to cede large areas of territory and pay huge reparations. As a result, the peace promised by the Bolsheviks did not materialize until the end of the Constituent Assembly elections.
