But the decisive moment was coming. Even if the defeat of Kaiser Wilhelm’s Germany would for the moment mean only a victory for French and British imperialism, Radek predicted that ‘the German revolution would develop rapidly’. After a year’s existence, Soviet Russia finally found itself ‘at the start of the European revolution’. 7 In other words, the fall of the German empire did not open the way to peace, but to civil war in Europe. This hope was shared by all Bolsheviks. The first convulsions in postwar Germany appeared to meet their expectations.
46 Victory in the Civil War, the strength of the Red Army, and the birth of the communist movement now provided greater confidence in the ability of Soviet power to survive and even play an international role. But these factors did not in any way justify the idea that it could threaten to attack the settlement put in place by Versailles. The end of the Polish–Soviet War quite possibly led to the stabilization of Central and Eastern Europe. It was up to Radek to sound the note of realism which was lacking in Lenin’s speech.
