This article, as can be seen from the text, was written in July. The history of the August revolution has fully borne out the contentions stated above. Moreover, the Kornilov uprising, toward the end of August, has created a new turning point in the revolution, unmistakably proving to the people that the Cadets, in union with the counter-revolutionary generals, seek to rout the Soviets and restore the monarchy. How strong this mew turn of the revolution is, and how successful it will be in putting an end to alliances with the bourgeoisie, are questions for the near future to decide.

Sept. 6, 1917.

N. Lenin.
