Russians Back Lenine and Trotzky Strong in Power Says Robins
Former Red Cross head Raymond Robins told a Senate committee that Lenin and Trotsky were entrenched because most Russians reportedly supported them.

Robins conceded Bolshevik atrocities but argued Western action fueled resentment and helped bolster Bolshevism across Europe and Russia.
