NEWSPAPER REPORT[edit source]

In the street, standing on top of an armoured car, Comrade Lenin greeted the revolutionary Russian proletariat and the revolutionary Russian army, who had succeeded not only in liberating Russia from tsarist despotism, but in starting a social revolution on an international scale, and added that the proletariat of the whole world looked with hope to the Russian proletariat’s bold steps.

The whole crowd walked in a body behind the car to the Kshesinskaya mansion, where the meeting continued.
