Answer: US ships had formed a naval quarantine around Cuba.

Explanation:

When US reconnaissance found out that the Soviet Union had been installing missiles in Cuba, the government was rightfully terrified because it meant that the Soviets could strike the US before they had time to defend themselves.

This sparked the Cuban Missile crises and led to President Kennedy ordering a naval blockade around Cuba. The Soviets were on their way there with more missiles and the world thought war would finally come if the two Superpowers collided outside Cuba.

Thankfully crises was averted as the leaders of the U.S. and the Soviet Union reached an understanding and the Soviet ships turned back in what was considered a victory for the U.S.

In what ways does it appear that Lenin and the Bolsheviks differed in their ideas about ""communism"" from Marx? To what extent

motikmotik

It appears as though Lenin and the Bolsheviks have different ideas about "communism" compared to Marx. To begin, Lenin's communist government is considered a realization of Marx's "dictatorship of the proletariat." In addition, the Bolshevik's changed Marx's doctrines to make them fit with the new Russian realities, which explains the difference in beliefs. Lenin insisted on a full-time, professional leadership that supervised a secret party. Unlike Marx, he believed that such a party could advance the coming of the revolution and that the peasantry could be led into revolutionary action.
