ABSTRACT

In Entente countries, the Russian Revolution was interpreted as a popular movement, sponsored by the moderate political leaders to prevent German influence at the Russian court from gaining the ascendancy to extent of causing the disruption of the Entente Alliance. Entente powers did not intend that the destruction of German and Russian autocracy should be followed by a worldwide political and colonial readjustment in which the principles would be applied to the territories and dependencies of all nations. The opportunism and lack of guiding principles in world politics are demonstrated by the capital. The Entente powers endeavored to make out misfortunes of Russia after the victory over Germany was assured. After the defection of Russia the Entente powers refused to recognize the soviet government on the ground that it did not express the will of the people. Soviet Russia during 1921 radically modified its communist theories of government and abandoned its revolutionary propaganda in Europe and America.
