Socialist-Revolutionary Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Left SR stayed at the Congress and were elected to the permanent VTSiK executive (although at first they refused to join the Bolshevik government) while the mainstream SR and their Menshevik allies walked out of the Congress. The Left SR party became the coalition partner of the Bolsheviks in the Soviet Government, although they resigned their positions after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was signed. The programme of the PSR was in the democratic socialist mold and garnered much support amongst Russia's rural peasantry who in particular supported their programme of land-socialisation as opposed to the Bolshevik programme of land-nationalisation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Socialist-Revolutionary_Party   (1073 words)

Chapter 12. The Peasants’ Congress. Reed, John. 1922. Ten Days That Shook the World The mistake of the Left Socialist Revolutionaries lies in the fact that at that time they did not oppose the policy of compromise, because they held the theory that the consciousness of the masses was not yet fully developed…. An uproar followed, in which the Bolsheviki and some of the Left Socialist Revolutionaries were on their feet all at once, shaking their fists and yelling, and the rest of the assembly tried to yell them down. The Socialist political party—this is the vanguard of the working-class; it must not allow itself to be halted by the lack of education of the mass average, but it must lead the masses, using the Soviets as organs of revolutionary initiative…. www.bartleby.com /79/12.html   (5053 words)

Encyclopedia: Bolshevik Bolsheviks had an extreme socialist and internationalist outlook, were opponents of the Russian traditional statehood and the Russian Orthodox Church. When Kerensky moved against the Bolsheviks on October 22 by ordering the arrest of their Military Revolutionary Council, banning the Bolshevik newspaper and cutting off telephone lines to the Bolshevik headquarters in the Smolny Institute, Trotsky urged that the Bolsheviks' decision on overthrowing the government be put into action. The Mensheviks were a faction of the Russian revolutionary movement that emerged in 1903 after a dispute between Vladimir Lenin and Julius Martov, both members of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Bolshevik   (1197 words)

Meeting of the All-Russia Central Executive Committee He recalled that in the first days of the revolution the Bolsheviks invited the Left Socialist-Revolutionaries to join the new government, but the group of Left Socialist-Revolutionaries, who refused to share responsibility in those difficult, critical days with their neighbours on the Left, declined to collaborate with the Bolsheviks. This time the Socialist- Revolutionaries did not act at all like socialists or revolutionaries.

Chapter 2. The Coming Storm. Reed, John. 1922. Ten Days That Shook the World The “centre” Socialist Revolutionaries, led by Tchernov, joined with the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, led by Kamkov and Spiridonova, the Mensheviki Internationalists under Martov, and the “centre” Mensheviki, 1 represented by Bogdanov and Skobeliev, in demanding a purely Socialist Government. Between these two groups the Mensheviki and Socialist Revolutionaries wavered, irresistibly forced to the left by the pressure of the rising dissatisfaction of the masses. Mensheviki and Socialist Revolutionaries, realising that they were defeated, suddenly changed their tactics and began to wire frantically to their provincial organisations to elect as many “moderate” Socialist delegates as possible. www.bartleby.com /79/2.html   (6571 words)

“Left-Wing” Childishness The “Lefts” are very careful to quote the figures: twelve votes at the Party Congress against peace, twenty-eight votes in favour, but they discreetly refrain from mentioning that of the hundreds of votes cast at the meeting of the Bolshevik group of the Congress of Soviets they obtained less than one-tenth. For, until the world socialist revolution breaks out, until it embraces several countries and is strong enough to overcome international imperialism, it is the direct duty of the socialists who have conquered in one country (especially a backward one) not to accept battle against the giants of imperialism. The misfortune of our “Lefts” is that by their naïve, childish combination of the words “most determined policy of socialisation” they reveal their utter failure to understand the crux of the question, the crux of the “present” situation. www.marxists.org /archive/lenin/works/1918/may/09.htm   (8523 words)

Chapter V. It is now divided into two groups known as the Socialist Revolutionists and the Left Socialist Revolutionists–representing the conservative and the radical wings. This moving of the masses away from the moderate groups is largely due to the policy of a government composed of Socialists and bourgeoisie which led to a denial of the desires of the Russian masses–peace, land and control of industry. The Socialist Revolutionists–the party of the peasants–is by far the greatest party in Russia. digital.library.upenn.edu /women/bryant/russia/russia-V.html   (1276 words)

Vladimir Ilich Lenin Lenin was the leader of the radical socialist Bolshevik Party (later renamed the Communist Party), which seized power in the October phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917. Lenin was more successful as a revolutionary leader than as a statesman, and his legacy would contribute to the political and ideological divisions that characterized the Soviet leadership in the 1920s. Rakhmetev served as a model for Lenin, and it was largely these ideals of the Russian revolutionary tradition—which glorified political action and a life fully committed to the cause of revolutionary political change—that shaped Lenin's political personality. www.angelfire.com /weird/flash333/freedom/lenine.html   (3603 words)

The Left S.R.s have committed political suicide by striking against revolutionary Realpolitik, just as the Mensheviks and Right S.R.s committed suicide last summer, by clinging to their coalition with the middle-classes long after the necessity for such a coalition had disappeared. www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk /RUSleft.htm   (578 words)

Russia Civil War 1918-1920 Kolchak and his officers disliked the left-wing views of the politicians and found it difficult to distinguish between Socialist Revolutionaries and Communists, lumping together all "Reds" as enemies.

The agrarian programme of the Socialist-Revolutionaries, called the "socialisation of the land", envisaged the abolition of private ownership of the land, which was to be transferred to the village commune on the basis of the labour principle and egalitarian tenure, and also the development of co-operatives. The Narodniks believed the peasantry was the revolutionary class that would overthrow the monarchy, regarding the village commune as the embyro of Socialism. web.uvic.ca /geru/376/russianparties.htm   (1090 words)

Was Stalinism implicit in October? (Russia, History) Tony Cliff justifies the repression on the grounds that the Mensheviks and the Socialist Revolutionaries were not prepared to accept the Soviet system and quotes Carr as saying that the opposition rejected the role of 'constitutional opposition'.62 He tries to move forward the repression until after the outbreak of full civil war. In the countryside the peasants who took direct action to obtain land were still loyal to the Socialist Revolutionaries (see Glossary)while even in the Bolshevik stronghold of Vyborg the workers could as easily be swayed by anarchist orators. Further however sincere socialists the Bolsheviks were, once established as a ruling class it was only a matter of time before they were either corrupted by their new class position or replaced by a new group who had none of their scruples. www.barnsdle.demon.co.uk /russ/oct.html   (9302 words)

The Dissolution of the Constituent Assembly (1918) When the people at that time voted for the candidates of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party, they were not in a position to choose between the Right Socialist-Revolutionaries, the supporters of the bourgeoisie, and the Left Socialist-Revolutionaries, the supporters of socialism. It was inevitable that the Bolshevik group and the Left Socialist-Revolutionary group, who now patently constitute the overwhelming majority in the Soviets and enjoy the confidence of the workers and the majority of the peasants, should withdraw from such a Constituent Assembly. To relinquish the sovereign power of the Soviets, to relinquish the Soviet Republic won by the people, for the sake of the bourgeois parliamentary system and the Constituent Assembly, would now be a step backwards and would cause the collapse of the October workers' and peasants' revolution. www.historyguide.org /europe/decree1918.html   (495 words)

Joshua Muravchik on Socialism on National Review Online His parents, Jewish immigrants from Kiev, were active members of the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, a party allied with Lenin's Bolsheviks. This party never escaped the margins of American politics, but a fair number of its members — radicals of the '30s or '60s — eventually made their mark, some on the left, some on the right, and many of these convened this May Day for a kind of Socialist all-class reunion.

The New York Review of Books: LIBERALIZING LENIN? The short-lived coalition with the Left Socialist Revolutionaries was forced on the Bolsheviks by pressure from the railway union, and was never treated as a real coallition by the Bolsheviks, in the sense of taking any notice of the Left Socialist Revolutionary views on policy. Lenin's fatal error was to believe that the proletarianization of the bureaucracy through the recruitment of lower class cadre into the administrative machine would lead to the dissemination of socialist norms rather than the bureaucratization of the proletarians and the emergence of a new ruling group. As is to be expected in a revolutionary situation, intrigue abounded on all sides. www.nybooks.com /articles/7287   (1413 words)

The Russian Revolution: events that shook the world The list of candidates for the Socialist Revolutionaries were drawn up before the party split, with a new party called the Left Socialist Revolutionaries forming.

Chapter 7: IN MEMORY OF THE KRONSTADT REVOLT Freely elected soviets, freedom of speech and freedom of the press for workers and peasants, anarchists and Left Socialist Revolutionaries. So it is not just among Russian toilers only that the painful memory of the Kronstadt revolutionaries who perished in the fighting and the survivors who were left to rot in Bolshevik jails should be reawakened on that date.
