1. Vladimir Lenin returned to Russia from his exile in 1917. He and the Bolsheviks have opposed the war since 1914 and feels that it is time now for the Soviet to take in power. He demanded three aspects which are known as Lenin's "April Theses". They were-to close the war, to transfer the land to the peasants and to nationalise the banks. 2. He renamed the Bolshevik party as the communist party with new radical aims. Other people of the Bolshevik party thought that it was not the time for the new theses and aim and that the provisional government need support, but gradually developments of the subsequent months after February changed their minds.
