Narrative:

October 1917. Vladimir Lenin arrives in Petrograd from Finland and initiates an urgent meeting of the Central Committee Bolshevik partiesAgenda: armed uprising of workers and overthrow of the provisional government controlled by capitalists.

Lenin insisted on an armed uprising, while other party leaders: Trotsky, Zinoviev and Kamenev proposed a peaceful resolution of the issue through elections to a constituent assembly. Thus, Lenin accused his comrades of playing into the hands of the enemies of the working class and advocated an armed uprising and the complete transfer of power to the people's councils.

The Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party met all night and by morning, by an overwhelming majority of votes, approved the plan of action proposed by Lenin. These plans soon become known to members of the provisional government, which is developing a set of measures to prevent an uprising.

The first thing to do was to disarm the workers of the St. Petersburg factories and physically eliminate the leaders of the Bolshevik Party: Lenin, Sverdlov, Dzerzhinsky and Uritsky, and then recall several regiments loyal to the government from the front.

A real hunt begins for Lenin and his comrades, but the flywheel of the revolution was already in motion, and it was practically impossible to stop it...
