Slogan second demonstration: "Down with Guchkov and Milyukov!", "Peace without annexations or indemnities!" And third, separate rally were the Bolsheviks with the slogan: "The power - the Soviets!" Allparticipants in demonstrations handed out ten rubles (very similar to the modern rallies), and later the Bolsheviks tried to claim that they were not responsible for the meetings, which were supposedly free expression of the masses.It is very sad that the demonstrations were armed clashes and even sacrifice.

difficult was in 1917 for the people.Temporary power made a lot of mistakes, than the Bolsheviks helped to take her place.Lenin also correctly held a course for victory, was able to motivate people and to present information tactfully.Difficult and thorny was the path of the Bolsheviks, but they had their own beliefs and goals.The situation in 1917 again shows that ideology - this is a very large force, as long as it was in the safe hands of competent and honest people acting in good faith.
