Lenin in his own words Introduction to April conference resolutions, May 3 1917 Workers, comrades! The All-Russia conference of the Russian Social Democratic Worker Party, united by the central committee - known commonly as the party of the ‘Bolsheviks’ - has concluded. The conference has adopted very important resolutions on all the fundamental issues of the revolution and the full text of them is published below. The revolution is passing through a crisis. This could be seen in the streets of Petrograd and Moscow between April 19 and April 21. This has been acknowledged by the Provisional Government. It has been acknowledged by the executive committee of the Petrograd Soviet of Worker and Soldier Deputies. Still further confirmation of it has been given, as I pen these lines, by the resignation of Guchkov.
