Russia- Who was Who?


The liberals
The liberals were split into 3 sections this included the progressive bloc, the octoberists and the kadets, who were not united. Right wing kadets thought that the revolution had gone too far and wanted to set up a democratically elected government. The liberal parties dominated the PG.

The socialists
The social revolutionaries and the Mensheviks both gained their support from the peasants and urban workers. Both classes wanted social reform, but they were divided over how this should happen and when.
There were socialists both in the PG and the Petrograd soviets; Kerensky was the only person to members of both factions.

The Bolsheviks 
The first leading Bolsheviks returned to Russia in mid-March; like the Mensheviks they believed that an industrial revolution would have to take place before a social revolution could take place. However the Bolsheviks became a distinct separate group after the return of lining on the 3rd of April.
