From February to July: Revolution, dual power, and reaction
Channel: In Defence of Marxism
Date: 2017-07-13

Niklas Albin Svensson of the International Marxist Tendency discusses the events of the 1917 Russian Revolution: from its opening scenes in February; through the return of Lenin in April; to the suppression in July.

What Niklas shows is that revolution is not a one-act drama, but a process by which the masses learn and become radicalised on the basis of the hammer blow of events.
