Proyect:

We should remind ourselves that Lenin supported self-determination because in the case of oppressed nationalities, it helped mobilize people against imperialism.

GN:

And so he did. And so did Stalin, too, in his pre-WWI writing on the National Question. But when those oppressed nationalities turned themselves into the servants of French and British imperialism, to help Witte et al against Russia, he had a change of mind.
