The February revolution took Lenin by surprise
Lenin arrived in Petrograd on the 3rd April 1917
The Germans gave them permission to travel through Germany as they thought that Revolution was a disaster to a country & by allowing Russian exiles to return they will spread the revolution
The Germans arranged for Lenin’s return to Russia in a sealed train
Lenin was accused of being a German spy
When he arrived he declared complete opposition to the government – calling for an immediate socialist revolution. He set out his programme for the Bolsheviks in his April Theses
