'Early in October – and now over the heads of the Central Committee – Lenin
wrote directly to the Petrograd and the Moscow committees: “The Bolsheviks have
no right to await the Congress of Soviets. They ought to seize the power right
now ... Delay is a crime. Waiting for the Congress of Soviets is a childish
toying with formalities, a shameful toying with formalities, betrayal of the
revolution.” '

There was a revolutionary moment when the millions were on the street. In
