  Little Octobrist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Each group of Little Octobrists was under the leadership of one Young Pioneer from the Young Pioneer detachment.
Every Little Octobrist wore a ruby-coloured five-pointed star badge with the portrait of V.I.Lenin in his childhood.

Unlike their immediate neighbors to the Left, Constitutional Democrats, the Octobrists were firmly committed to a system of constitutional monarchy.
The Octobrists and groups allied with them did poorly in the 1906 elections of the First and Second State Dumas.
However, after the dissolution of the Second State Duma on June 3, 1907 (Old Style), the election law was changed in favor of propertied classes and the party formed the largest faction in the Third State Duma (1907-1912).

 An Increasing Discrepancy
The Octobrists are always whimpering in their press, railing at the revolution, railing at the government, the Rights and the Council of State, but in the Duma they confine themselves to a desire for reforms and follow the government.
But this Octobrist game (which would have been impossible had the Cadets and Octobrists not been members of one and the same little family) does not eliminate the indisputable fact that there are differences of shade between the Left and the Right Cadets, between the Lloyd Georges and the Asquiths of our liberalism.
It is not an accident that the Octobrists, Progressists and Cadets haggled and struck a bargain on a common formula; it is a result of their ideological and political solidarity in the main.

 WashingtonPost.com: The Fall of the Romanovs
On the eve of World War I, however, even the Octobrists were at odds with Nicholas's policies, and they could often be heard criticizing the government in the Duma, where they formed the largest single bloc of deputies.
To the left of the Octobrist Party was the Constitutional Democratic Party, typically abbreviated to Kadet Party, but sometimes known by its formal name, the Party of the People's Freedom.
Unlike most Octobrists, who were especially solicitous of the needs of landowners, or the Progressists, members of another liberal party, who spoke for the interests of large-scale industry and finance, and certainly unlike the socialists, who represented labor, the Kadets refused to represent the interests of any one class.

 The Campaign for the Elections to the Fourth Duma
The task of the democrats is a different one; not to belittle the idea of constitutionalism, but to explain that as long as power and revenue remain in the hands of the Markovs and their like it is nothing but a fiction.
For the purpose of providing a concrete definition of the duties of working-class democrats in the election campaign, it would be useful, we believe, to examine, in as great detail as possible, the data relating to the elections to the Third Duma in a few individual gubernias.
The ideological implication of the second line is the waging of a struggle against the leadership of the Cadets over the peasants and over bourgeois democracy in general; its practical result in case of success would be the increase and consolidation, the strengthening of the group of democrats in the Fourth Duma.

 First World War.com - Who's Who - Alexander Guchkov
Alexander Ivanovich Guchkov (1862-1936) served as leader of the Octobrist Party in the wake of the 1905 Russian Revolution, and was a moderate figure arguing in favour of constitutional reform prior to and during World War One.
With Tsar Nicholas II's political concessions in the wake of the 1905 Revolution, creating a constitutional monarchy, Guchkov was instrumental in founding the moderate Octobrist Party, dedicated to enacting the Tsar's stated manifesto.
From 1910-11 Guchkov acted as president of the State Duma, although by this stage he was growing increasingly disillusioned with the royal court's apparent desire to agree necessary reforms.

 Lenin: 1913/re: The New Duma   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The first conclusion to be drawn from these data is that in the Fourth Duma the former two possible majorities remain—the Right-wing and Octobrist majority of 283 votes (65+120+98) and the Octobrist-Cadet majority of 226 votes (98+48+59+21).
In the Third Duma, the Right-wing and Octobrist majority was 292 votes at the beginning and 268 at the end.
It is impossible to lay too much stress on the last circumstance, which the liberals gloss over in order to fool the democrats, while the liberal labour politicians (liquidators) do the same thing from lack of intelligence.

The Cadets boast that they are pushing the Octobrists into opposition by their support.
When they call on the people to support the wavering Octobrists, the Cadets are trying to make democrats follow in the wake of the worst of the liberals.

 Results of the Elections
Our liberals like to pretend that the Octobrists' defeat was due to the "manipulation of the elections", which took away support from this "party of the latest government orders", and so on.
The characteristic thing is that genuine class parties are in course of formation and that, in particular, the party of counter-revolutionary liberalism is becoming consolidated under cover of noisy oppositional exclamations and honeyed talk about "reconciliation of the government and the country".
The Octobrist leader Rodzyanko, who, as we know, is regarded as a Right Octobrist, considers himself a constitutionalist, as does Krupensky, the leader of the "Centre faction", or conservative constitutionalists.

Despite the misfortune of an unwillingly absent father, Venedikt was an excellent student and received the gold medal for his high academic achievement.
However, he was quite rebellious and refused to become an Octobrist, Pioneer, or a member of the Komsomol, organizations which were not denied at this time in the Soviet Union.
Perhaps this behavior was caused by his father’s opinions voiced before his arrest, or was a result of his opinions formed after the arrest itself.
