Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

Nationalisation of Banks

In 1917, Lenin returned to Russia. Since the start of the World War, he and the Bolsheviks were against Russia’s involvement. Lenin had three demands: First, he declared that the war be brought to an end; second, he wanted the lands to be transferred to the peasants; third, the banks had to be nationalised. These three demands were known as Lenin’s April Theses.
