Vladimir Lenin's closest associates advised Lenin that to overthrow the Kerensky Provisional government would be a terrible mistake. Zinov'ev and Kamenev were alarmed that a Bolshevik seizure of power might be an initial success, but that they would be unable to keep their power over Russia. This failure would forever damage the Bolshevik cause and take years to reverse. They felt so strongly about this that they openly violated Party discipline by publishing article in non-Bolshevik papers.
