Apprendisti Storici

During the civil war, Bolsheviks found the Communist Party and moved the capital to Moscow.

In order to defend the Revolution from internal and external enemies Lenin found the "Third international" (Comintern).

Inside this assembly, two men had these opposite positions:

in one hand, Trotsky, wanted this assembly to extend the revolution to other countries (helping local Communist parties, like in Germany); in the other hand, Stalin, who wanted to use the assembly to defend the revolution only in Russia (using other communist parties to make opposition in their countries).

This international split the socialism in three tendencies:

• communists, who wanted to follow the Russian example
• socialists, who wanted the defeat of the capitalism but without revolution
• social democrats, improving society with reforms
