Lenin saw that revolution required shifting tactics from East to West

Evidence

It seems to me that Ilitch understood that a change was necessary from the war of manoeuvre applied victoriously in the East in 1917, to a war of position which was the only form possible in the West— where, as Krasnov observes, armies could rapidly accumulate endless quantities of munitions, and where the social structures were of themselves still capable of becoming heavily-armed fortifications. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 898
