Edward Dunes' life as a revolutionary during Russia's transition from a Tsarist state to that of a Marxist-Socialist regime, was propagated by many influences/situational factors arising from the move of his family from Riga to Moscow. As a boy in Riga, Dunes' thirst for books and a good education elevated his potential to become a highly skilled worker. Dune's childhood upbringing, combined with factory life in Moscow, along with a later influential individual in his life with his father's hard labor socialist ideas, transformed Dune into the Bolshevik revolutionary he became. Aside from his childhood character, Dune developed crucial skills outside of his formal education in Riga that sparked great potential for his future. As a boy and throughout Dune's early adolescence, his love of books was insatiable. Although the books Dune read were not political in nature, they provided a basis for Dune's interest in all things intellectual. There was one instance, however, when Dune was reading in a park near his house when an older gentleman offered him the book Diary of a Socialist to read. This book would raise new questions that Dune wanted answers to. That moment would represent the transition to reading books of a political and social nature. Individuals who could read and had better education on political/social issues often played a more important role during the Russian Revolution in organizing movements and educating the masses. Aside from his love of books as a child, Dune listened to stories about factory life and listened to leaflets printed by the Latvian Social Democratic Organization that his father read aloud at night. Listening to these stories, as a child, and seeing the area around him... in the center of the paper... conscious bisteria between Dune. Even though Dune seemed to have remained calm throughout the memory, I assume his true feelings towards Sapronov were more acute. As an influential member in the community, Sapronov was seen as a legitimate source of knowledge that Dune was drawn to. This Mentor was a crucial link in Dune becoming a Bolshevik and fighting as a member of the Red Guard. Dune had all the necessary requirements that individuals joining a cause needed to succeed. He had the drive, the education, the appropriate atmosphere and, ultimately, someone with the experience to foster the revolutionary within him. The circumstances in which Dune portrayed himself in his book demonstrate his ideological change, from someone young and intuitive with freely forming thoughts to someone ultimately with concrete values ​​and actions..
