Liteyny bridge, Petrograd, Russian Republic

Vladimir Ilyich, noticing that some workers were not being allowed across the bridge, decided to try to get across. We went up to the arguing crowd. It appeared that the soldiers were asking for passes and that most people, like us, didn’t have them. According to the soldiers, we should have got ourselves passes at headquarters. The workers were indignant and were abusing the soldiers ferociously. We took advantage of the argument and dashed passed the sentries on Liteyny Prospekt, then turned into Shpalernaya Street and headed for Smolny.
