In an address to
the Bolshevik delegates of the Northern Regional Conference of Soviets, Lenin
argues for the line he took in “The Crisis
Is Ripe.” He did not want to put off the insurrection until the Congress of
Soviets, still almost two weeks away. He wanted the revolutionary soldiers and
sailors based in Finland to make “an immediate move on Petrograd.”
Once again,
Trotsky says, as in April with his theses, Lenin had placed himself in
isolation, ahead and to the left of the party and its leading organ, the
Central Committee.
