i'm doing my AP Euro homework at the moment, i just read something intresting, my book says that after the July Days many Bolsheviks thought that the party should work with the Provisional Government, but Lenin in Finland told them they shouldn't, so my question is this, what if Lenin died in Finland (lets say the strokes got him a few year early) would the Bolsheviks work with the Provisional Government? and how would this change things? and even if they don't work with the Provisional Government without Lenin can they pull off the October Revolution? and if they do pull that off can they win the Civil War without him?
