Claiming that Germany caused the Russian Revolution via the sole act of sending him back to Russia is not true.
While it is true that Lenin ultimately led the Bolsheviks to power, the reason Germany even thought about sending Lenin back was that Russia was already on the brink of collapse due to reasons a mile long and Germany was throwing shit against the wall to hasten Russian collapse.
Claiming a revolution of an entire country was caused by a single person is a bit much.
- cjbgkagh 5y agoNo such claim, it was over 30 exiles, and I suspect were also given large amounts of money and weapons. It’s a murky area of history, I haven’t dug deep enough to be able to authenticate supposed forgeries etc. but prima facie it would make sense.
