 Biography of Vladimir Ilich Lenin
Lenin therefore raised the slogan, "All power to the Soviets!", even though he had willingly conceded in the spring of 1917 that revolutionary Russia was the "freest of all the belligerent countries." To Lenin, however, the Provisional Government was merely a "dictatorship of the bourgeoisie" that kept Russia in the imperialist war.
Lenin's decision to establish soviet power derived from his belief that the proletarian revolution must smash the existing state machinery and introduce a "dictatorship of the proletariat"; that is, direct rule by the armed workers and peasants which would eventually "wither away" into a non-coercive, classless, stateless, Communist society.
Lenin's insistence on merciless destruction of the opposition to the Bolshevik dictatorship subsequently led many observers to conclude that Lenin, though personally opposed to one-man rule, nevertheless unwittingly cleared the way for the rise of Joseph Stalin's dictatorship.
