Yes , there was no Internet in Russia in 1917. Don't underestimate the power of working people just TALKING to one another. Old fashioned leaflets and soap box speeches still effective. More PRINTED socialist newspapers . Some good comes even from half-drunken bar room chats on the right PLAN OF ACTION at 2:00 AM in the morning.
Even in church congregations working class Christians might get IDEAS - rather incongruous with " Get Rich With Jesus ! ". But not with " The Sermon on the Mount ". Elmer Gantry gets right with A.J. Muste and Eugene V. Debs ! And that Christian socialist Bouck White from an American Century ago.
