- March 22 1917, Alexander Guchkov, Telegram to General Michael Alekseev:
- Временное правительство не располагает какой-либо реальной властью, и его распоряжения осуществляются лишь в тех размерах, кои допускает Совет рабочих и солдатских депутатов, который располагает важнейшими элементами реальной власти, так как войска, железные дороги, почта и телеграф в его руках.
- Vremennoje pravitelʹstvo ne raspolagajet kakoj-libo realʹnoj vlastʹju, i jevo rasporjaženija osuščestvljajutsja lišʹ v tex razmerax, koi dopuskajet Sovet rabočix i soldatskix deputatov, kotoryj raspolagajet važnejšimi elementami realʹnoj vlasti, tak kak vojska, železnyje dorogi, počta i telegraf v jevo rukax.
- The Provisional Government possesses no real power and its orders are executed only in so far as this is permitted by the Soviet of Workers’ and Soldiers’ Deputies, which holds in its hands the most important elements of actual power, since the troops, railroads, postal and telegraph service are in its hands.
- April 7 1917, Lenin, V. I., “The Tasks of the Proletariat in the Present Revolution”, in Lenin’s Collected Works[1], volume 24, Progress Publisher, published 1964, pages 19 - 26:
- Своеобразие текущего момента в России состоит в переходе от первого этапа революции, давшего власть буржуазии в силу недостаточной сознательности и организованности пролетариата, — ко второму её этапу, который должен дать власть в руки пролетариата и беднейших слоёв крестьянства.
- Svojeobrazije tekuščevo momenta v Rossii sostoit v perexode ot pervovo etapa revoljucii, davševo vlastʹ buržuazii v silu nedostatočnoj soznatelʹnosti i organizovannosti proletariata, — ko vtoromu jejó etapu, kotoryj dolžen datʹ vlastʹ v ruki proletariata i bednejšix slojóv krestʹjanstva.
- The specific feature of the present situation in Russia is that the country is passing from the first stage of the revolution—which, owing to the insufficient class-consciousness and organisation of the proletariat, placed power in the hands of the bourgeoisie—to its second stage, which must place power in the hands of the proletariat and the poorest sections of the peasants.
