ok time for another one and half hour before due time POST. Through the research done it is evident that the october revolution (bulshevik revolution) and its results were a hidden, not true representation, successfull attempt by an extremist group to sieze the power through strong-armed tactics that began as aims for the russian people.
The first example that I use will be from the first world war and the russian revolution (3):
"the German government, in the meantime driven to desperation came to lenin in switzerland and offered to send him back to russia...lenin recieved millions of marks from the German government to make anit-war propoganda in russia"
This evidence shows that before it even happened Lenin was already on the opposing side and being funded by a "bad guy" party. The scarier fact is that lenin actaully takes the money and goes back to russia, but instead of taking the money and just going back on his own carries onut the actual plans so he can gain power not for the people, but for himself. This also gave German some lead way as to when and if lenin was more successfull to be in chance to take power they could give him some force to make it happen and Lenin would owe them a favor in the long run for exampple help them out in the end of the war.
The second piece of evidence comes from the same source as to once the october revolution is being started and the bolsheviks were being helped by the germans but most bolsheviks didnt want it Lenin did.
"He concluded "It is senseless to wait for the constintuent assembly which will obviously not to be on our side for this will only make our task more complicated"
This quote by Lenin shows that they are already in a complicated situation, which situation during this time is unclear. The situation where most of the country is afraid of the Bolshevik group taking over using help from the germans strong armed tactics or the case where some bolsheviks now wont even help Lenin take over due to the german reinforcements. which ever it may be it still shows Lenin as an agressor wanting the power for himself if not for the bolsheviks. he doesnt even care to get all the bolsheviks on his side once he realizes half of them are not.
These are not the only examples in the text but this evident is quite clear as to how the october revolution is atrue representation of an extremist group trying to use strong armed tactics just to get power.

'at a boy big al. But i still have a few points to raise. You say taht you believe it was a radical takeover, but i feel that the evidence you used shows otherwise. To me it seems that your evidence makes the revolution look not like the embodiment of the desires of the people nor a radical take over, but somthing completely differnet all together. To me, your evidence seems to show the october revolution was an event orchestrated from outside the borders of Russia, not by an extremist party, but by a country, Germany. So if Germany is pulling the strings then isnt this really just a diplomatic weapon of war used to distract Russian attention from the conflict of WWI and not the result of a radical takeover or the representation of the deisres of the people?
