	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.

		Lenin's extremist attitude was strongly held and resulted in a manifesto urging the European working class to stop fighting each other and turn on their capitalist exploiters.

	VLADIMIR ILYICH LENIN - LIFE AND WORK
		Lenin called this his "green study" and it was here that he lived and worked all through the summer of 1917 and discussed questions of party activity in that complex period of revolutionary development with other party leaders whom Yemelyanov or some member of his family would guide to the spot.
		Lenin also explained that such a struggle could be successful only provided that the working class led the peasantry, a class which was disunited and vacillating because it consisted of working people who were also private owners, and whose social position was that between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie.
		Using the Marxist approach Lenin discussed the problems of the transition period from capitalism to socialism, examined the role of the state of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and further developed the Marxist thesis on socialism and communism as the initial and the highest phase respectively of the communist socio-economic formation.
