Lenin Collected Works: Volume 24
On the Socialist's Passage through Germany
In late March and early April of 1917, thirty two Socialists that had been exiled from Russia by the Tsarist government sought to return to Russia after the General Amnestry granted by the February Revolution. Due to the World War, travel between countries was extremely difficult, and exceedingly so for known Socialists; Trotsky had already been detained after attempting to travel through England.
The Socialists, in Switzerland, were allowed to travel through Germany, on a sealed train: the German government wanting to keep them out of the affairs of their country, but expidite them to Russia where they believed the Socialists would be like posion to the Russian war machine.
The group of Socialists was made up of Mensheviks, Socialist-Revolutionaries, Bolsheviks and Bundists. The most notable Socialists in the group were: Axelrod, Martov, Lenin, Ryazanov, Lunacharsky, and Natanson.
