The text of
Miluvov’s note hits the Petrograd papers, sparking three days of
demonstrations: the “April Days.”
The Finland
Regiment marched to the seat of the Provisional Government at the head of over
30,000 armed soldiers. Workers left their factories and joined them. The
banners read, “Down with Miliukov!" “Down with Guchov,” Minister of War in the
Provisional Government, too.
The demonstrators
lacked a specific program; nor was the Executive Committee of the Petrograd
Soviet, hastily reconvened, able to supply one. In reaction, General Kornilov,
not for the last time, offers troops for suppressing the demonstrations;
bourgeois agitators denounce Lenin as a German agent.
