Russia. Spring 1918. Before the start of the big intervention
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.by Oleg Airapetov [REGNUM] The loss of control over Baku and Grozny deprived Russia of oil. Customs tariffs ensured the ruin of Russian industry by German imports. The payment of the indemnity was an additional blow to finances. Lenin linked all his hopes with the imminent arrival of a new wave of revolution. On March 7, in his report to the VII Emergency Congress of the RCP (b) on the political situation, he spoke about erroneous assessments of Germany's potential, that the belief that the Germans were not in a position to attack led to a worsening of the situation.
