Reply to comment by plantanus69 in Russian political parties after Feb 1917? by drain_clerk

Don’t forget the at first informal and later formal split Left SRs and the Right SRs: the left aligned closer to the Bolsheviks within the Petrograd Soviet following the February Revolution and were mostly anti-PG while the right aligned towards the PG along with the Mensheviks. Lordy are there a lot of factions.

Very true! Left that out cause I feel like the SR split becomes important after the October revolution rather than the February one but it’s always important to remember the factions within factions within factions

Just a very small clarification : the cadets as a party may be confusing because actual military cadets played a role as well. The name of the political party is a nickname based on the abbreviation of "constitutional democrats"
