| | O. Radkey, The Elections to the Russian Constituent Assembly of 1917 (Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1950), pp.16-21. | | | The Provisional government was a reforming government supporting a Constituent Assembly based on universal suffrage; universal suffrage in local elections implemented in 1917; the abolition of racial and religious discrimination; freedom for religion; freedom of speech and assembly; the right to strike; soldiers to be citizens in uniform. | | | The underlying reason was that Russian business and landed circles had not been able to establish a mass base as they had in the west where they could draw on a growing middle class, a property owning peasantry and a body of working class conservatives to bolster their otherwise small numbers. |

| | The Constituent Assembly |
| | Even though Kerensky's government had at last fixed the elections to the Constituent Assembly, the Bolsheviks had charged that he intended to subvert it, and immediately after the October Revolution, Pravda had declared, ''Comrades, by shedding your blood you have assured the convocation. | | | Chernov was elected president of the assembly over Maria Spiridonova, a Left Social Revolutionary leader fronting for the Bolsheviks, by a vote of 244 to 153. | | | The Russian Orthodox Church, the official religious institution of the old regime, was attacked, not with the intent of destroying it instantly but rather of penning it into a corner where, it was hoped, it would wither and die. |

| | In late 1917 just before the Constituent Assembly was supposed to be elected the Bolsheviks overthrew the Provisional Government. | | | Jan 18, 1918 - Constituent Assembly meets in St. Petersburg only to be confronted by Lenin's ultimatum to recognize Bolshevik government and approve on all its decrees; dispersed by Bolsheviks same day. | | | The event of the enactment of this Law is of a top priority for Russian legislation, as it causes the necessity to change all the laws on elections with the introduction of the new category «Political Party». |

| | To the great disappointment of the Russian people, the Provisional Government hesitated to call the Constituent Assembly due to the turmoil within the country. | | | The general public hoped that the election for the Constituent Assembly would be held as soon as possible. | | | The peasants expected that once the Constituent Assembly was called, it would legalize the confiscation and distribution of the landlords' estates. |

| | He hoped that the elections to the All Russian Constituent Assembly, which were then in progress, would bring him a majority. | | | In the election to the Constituent Assembly 36,000,000 votes were cast, of which only 4,000,000 were polled by the bourgeois parties and 32,000,000 by the socialist parties. | | | The majority behind the Constituent Assembly was so overwhelming that not a single one of the czarist generals dared move against it. |

| | In both instances the assemblies expressed themselves in favor of a Constituent Assembly, but they were non-committal on whether the Constituent Assembly was to meet before, simultaneously with, or after the Russian Constituent Assembly. | | | In case of disagreement Latvia's Constituent Assembly seeks a settlement of Latvia's question in an international conference, basing the complaint on the principle of self determination which the states participating in the conference have declared. | | | A very significant part of the liberal of 1917 was his commitment to a federative order of states. |

| | In Defence of Marxism - The Russian Revolution in Colour! |
| | The Russian Revolution in Colour doesn’t deal with the nature of the Constituent Assembly and the forces in conflict within it as a reflection of the conflicting forces during the revolutionary process; it doesn’t speak about these forces’ reactions when the Bolsheviks dissolved the Constituent Assembly, or if anybody defended it. | | | The action of the Bolsheviks was the outcome of a considered policy and of a clear-cut view of the progressive development of the revolution from its bourgeois-democratic to its proletarian-socialist phase.” [9] Even the Mensheviks were aware of the role of the Constituent Assembly at that stage of the revolution. | | | This is a progressive slogan in a country where a parliament, elections, and other democratic rights do not exist. |

| | Constituent Assembly in November 1917 played an outstanding role in the policy of the Bolsheviks. | | | Elections for the Constituent Assembly were mostly arranged prior to the October Revolution, but the elections took place after October. | | | Instead of this, from the special inadequacy of the Constituent Assembly which came together in October, Trotsky draws a general conclusion concerning the inadequacy of any popular representation whatsoever which might come from universal popular elections during the revolution. |
