Lunacharsky also admitted that
the worst enemy of bolshevism was
the allied economic blockade, and
he even went so far as to predict
the end of the bolshevik regime if
the blockade continued. He said
that owing to physical privations
from lack of bread, fuel and ma
terials it was natural that wrath
should be provoked against the gov

had been supposed that an agree

OF reparations the question was
