Chapter 1659: Blessings and Misfortunes
The situation of the Bolsheviks is different from that of history, Stalin and the emergence of the million-strong army have put the Soviet Union on a different path, Lenin's development in St. Petersburg has become easier, with money, some revolutionary propaganda that could not be done before has also been opened, and the official newspaper of the Bolsheviks, Pravda, has also been extensively revised, more beautifully printed, and published more articles.

In this sense, the Bolsheviks at this stage were far better than in history, but there is an old Chinese saying that the blessings and misfortunes depend on and the blessings and misfortunes exist, and this sentence is not wrong at all, the Bolsheviks in history, by virtue of various opportunities, finally won the victory of the October Revolution, which was the result of all the conditions at that time, and now, the conditions have changed, although the Bolsheviks are more powerful and have more opportunities, but they have lost the concealment of that time. The fact that the Bolsheviks developed better was counterproductive in the context of a changing history.
First of all, the Bolsheviks' movements increased, and when the movement was large, it was easy to be noticed by others, especially the Bolsheviks suddenly increased a lot of strength and some unfamiliar faces, these new faces increased the strength of the Bolsheviks a lot, and some actions against the Bolsheviks were thwarted, and the Bolsheviks, who were bitter themselves, suddenly got a lot of food, completely solved the problem of famine, and when everyone else was engaged in food, the Bolsheviks would even release grain, It was also because of the grain released that the Bolsheviks gathered a lot of people.
Food was an important commodity, and under the premise of the food shortage in St. Petersburg, the role of food was magnified to the extreme, and this completely different approach from the usual was precisely because of this factor, and it was precisely because of this factor that these people discovered the movements of the Bolsheviks, and therefore discovered the hidden power of the Bolsheviks, which were supposed to be hidden in the shadows, and were discovered by the upper classes.
In many cases, the organization of Russia, to a certain extent, is a sieve, as long as you look for it, you will definitely be able to find loopholes, plus many Soviets, who do not realize at all what is important about this information, and after paying a small price, soon most of the actions of the Bolsheviks will be placed in front of the Mensheviks.
In the revolutionary party, the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks are two groups with different ideas, in the previous revolutions, the Mensheviks performed a little better, they not only led the revolution, but also joined the State Duma, occupied a considerable number of seats, in the current turbulent situation in the whole of Russia, belong to the real power class, go first, the accumulation of strength and other aspects will develop very well, in the Mensheviks think that they have thrown off the Bolsheviks, but did not think, The Bolsheviks secretly developed such strength.
Some situations are so subtle, a dust, an ant, an elephant may ignore him, but when this dust increases to the stones, and the ant becomes a cat, it can no longer be ignored, and it is precisely because of the discovery of this action that the Mensheviks and the Provisional Duma are also much more wary of the Bolsheviks, and they suddenly find that they seem to be sitting at the bottom of a volcano, and once the Bolsheviks have enough strength, don't look at them standing in the ruling position. If the Bolsheviks had been able to unite the Soviets throughout St. Petersburg, even their nominal positions in power would have been lost.
The revolution is like this, whoever can mobilize more power has the right to speak, and the Mensheviks did not notice this before, which allowed the Bolsheviks to take advantage of the loophole, and the Mensheviks realized their shallowness, began to be wary of the Bolsheviks, and in the State Duma, raised the question of the Bolsheviks, demanding that the State Duma solve the Bolsheviks.
However, even the Mensheviks, in the State Duma is not too high, mainly in the hands of the big nobles and big capitalists, they do not believe in a group of mud legs, can seize power, at this moment, the different factions in the State Duma are very fiercely contested, most of them think that it may be the Mensheviks in the communiqué personal vendettas, both parties are part of the Social Democratic Labor Party, but in 1903 there was a huge disagreement, at the Second Congress of the Social Democratic Labor Party, There was a fierce confrontation, and in the end, Lenin gained the majority of support, and the Mensheviks became a minority, gradually developing independently.
Perhaps because of such a grudge, the Mensheviks chose to attack the Bolsheviks, although this will not affect the State Duma, but it will not allow him to succeed so easily, there is a Bolshevik to contain the Mensheviks, which is also a good choice, for the Bolsheviks have restrictions, but they have not been exterminated, and even some restrictions are only superficial and do not go deeper.
The Mensheviks were disappointed that their ideas were not supported, but they began to notice the actions of the Bolsheviks, tried to replicate them, and the resources and channels in their hands were higher than those of the Bolsheviks.
From the point of view of the Provisional Government, the Mensheviks and some other forces together formed the Provisional Government, in name, the Mensheviks belong to the orthodoxy, belong to the government, they naturally have justice, although some of the previous measures, lost part of the popular support, but the foundation is still there, so they paid a little sweetness, part of the wavering Soviets leaned over, so that the development of the Bolsheviks, some of the difficulties.
History has no regrets, even Lenin did not know, he had the opportunity to easily gain control of the whole of Russia, and now, although more of Stalin's power in Kazakhstan, did not save him much time, but entered a more difficult situation, the same victory, but compared to history, they spent more strength and sacrificed more.
Lenin was not a traverser of this, he would not have known, he would only see that with the support of Stalin, the power of the Bolsheviks increased again, and the variable of the Mensheviks was not unsolvable, after all, the workers' and peasants' Soviets were inherently at odds with the Provisional Government, and even if the Mensheviks competed with the Bolsheviks for various reasons, as long as they were attached to the Provisional Government, they would always go against these workers and peasants.
I have to say that Lenin's wisdom, historically, is also the convergence of the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks, which caused the birth of the Soviet Union, and in this era, he is also keenly aware of this, in the complex situation of St. Petersburg, slowly looking for the initiative, although slowly, but Lenin is very clear, he is moving forward step by step, until the time of the peak.
When the work of the revolution was slowly progressing, there was a change in St. Petersburg, a bloodbath turned St. Petersburg into a slaughter, the private soldiers sent by the big nobles before, were killed 5 squads, those private soldiers stopped a little, but a few days later, no one chased them, they were bold, according to the previous next order, they need to completely cut off the food supply of the entire St. Petersburg, now this task is only a little completed, must be completely completed.
I have to say that these private soldiers are stupid, their continued activities, when they fell to St. Petersburg at this time, it is somewhat obvious, those noble private soldiers, their actions, after the Mensheviks paid attention to the actions of the Bolsheviks, it was natural to discover the actions of these noble private soldiers, a little suspicion before, plus the current confirmation, the culprit is about to come out.
The food problem in St. Petersburg has long attracted their attention, but they don't have much experience in governance, and they can't figure out who it is, and now that they have found out, these defeated nobles are actually reaching out here, without them, even if St. Petersburg will suffer a food crisis, it will not be so serious.
These aristocrats who had followed the Tsar from power and withdrawn from Russian politics still did not want to give up, so they gave up completely, and suddenly, during the bloodiest period of the entire St. Petersburg, at least 12 far-reaching aristocratic families that had been established for more than hundreds of years were uprooted, and the Mensheviks even wanted to burn the fire to the Bolsheviks, but unfortunately the Bolsheviks had already taken root in St. Petersburg, and under the opposition of a large number of Soviets, in the end this measure could not continue.
12 big nobles, as well as hundreds of small and medium-sized nobles, implicated more than 5,000 people, and finally killed, there were more than 3,000 people, and in the end, there were inextricable connections, pointing to the tsar, and even caught a tsar's attendant officer, but unfortunately from his mouth, there was no useful information at all, and this attendant committed suicide before he had time to torture.
Even if there is no clear evidence, the Provisional Government has also raised its vigilance against the Tsar, even if there is no way to deal with the Tsar directly because of the Tsar's status, but his subordinates, attendants, direct nobles, and even some attendants have also been transferred, to a certain extent, isolating the Tsar, making him unable to contact the outside world, and thus unable to exert influence on the outside world.
After a large number of nobles were cleared and the private soldiers were killed, the roads were cleared, and some of the grain transported from below began to slow down the food shortage in St. Petersburg, and with a large amount of supply, the price of grain in St. Petersburg began to slowly decrease, and the food shortage was basically over, but the top level of the provisional government did not expect that before the relationship between supply and demand was not resolved, there would be a shortage of grain in Russia, especially in a big city like St. Petersburg, when there was a shortage of green and yellow in March and April next year, there would still be a food shortage. In some cases, it is even more sinister than this one. (To be continued.) )
