[1] He lead the c’oup with soldiers loyal to his cause.
[2] History kinda speaks for itself, he was apart of many meetings among socialists and convinced many to follow him.
[3] He lead the Bolshevik faction after a split with the Mensheviks. As well as worked frequently, talking to marxist, during the war, writing such things as “Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism (1916)” As well as entering Russia in October 1917 when he was a famous enemy of the state, one who’s writing was already very popular and he used loyal soldiers to stage a c’oup
[4] He wrote several books, and worked for almost 2 decades (from atleast 1905 to his death, of 1924) to bring socialism and wipe out imperialism and capitalism in russia.
[5] This was said on the blog post, how Katarina is seen as an old way. In ww1, the empires of old, due to a tangablie set of alliances declared war on eachother, wiping out the old empires, of Austro hungry, Germany and Russia, and bringing forth new governments.
[6] I say this as Lenin during his last years alive, and have already had a stroke, tried to stop stalins rise to power. By sending a letter to his wife that pretty much said, hey everyone, do something about stalin, and his authority. But I don’t know if that letter was ever read since it would criticize members of the central committee especially stalin (which is like a high up area of command for the soviet government at the time)

[1] I also had two big problem with researching prince oleg, 1 a checked a bunch of websites that popped up on google and none of them had references so I automatically exclude those with one exception being britannica since britannica Is highly regarded by even colleges as a good source. Britannica did mention the russian primary chronicle which is part of where they got this information from. And this leads me to my second issue.
There is seemingly besides the chronicle very little written about oleg. Atleast I had trouble finding out how this man even died. Scratch that I COULDNT I tried finding it, britannica doesnt even mention it, while this one other website (https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~rwest/wikispeedi...)
says oh he was bitten by a snake. So I have no clue how this man died or much else about him. Just know that I tried and if anyone else knows any other good sources ill check them out to try and find out more info on him.
