what were the tricks used by Lenin to gain support before the October revolution?
Answers
Answer:
The revolution that took place in February of 1917 deposed a tsarist regime and began Russia’s
road towards a socialist state. Yet during this time the Bolshevik party exerted very little power and
influence in the country. However, by late October of the same year, under chants of “All Power to the
Soviets,” the Bolsheviks were successful in wresting control of the Russian government. The rise of the
Bolshevik party was buoyed by the support they generated among many of the proletariat, who
supported them for political, economic, and social reasons. Worker radicalism and support for a socialist
revolution reached a crescendo in the months preceding the October Revolution of 1917

By the time 1921 came around, Russia’s economy had been maimed by the effects of War Communism. Socialism had not begun on a good note, and Vladimir Lenin was becoming concerned with the unfortunate state of the economy. His response to the poor economy he adopted and how he planned to improve it was called the New Economic Policy, or the N.E.P., which got its name from the fact that it was “new,” in comparison to the “old” Czarist economic “policy.”
The N.E.P. was masterfully designed to bring capital into the state, which it did, and to help it prosper economically. However, some socialists believe it may have gone too far with its free-market economic style and possibly could have lead the Soviet Unioninto permanently possessing a capitalist economy, which would have destroyed the socialist priority. The original plan, however, was to have capitalism in place until the economy was strong enough to achieve socialism.
