Lenin or Kerensky?

Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Kerensky had a lot in common – they were born in the same town, their fathers were friends, and both of them ended up being key figures in the Russian Revolution, albeit on opposing sides. Can you tell Lenin’s quotes from Kerensky’s?

  1. There is no such thing as abstract truth, truth is always concrete.
