The Social Revolutionaries: Pivotal Force of Early 20th Century Russia

The Social Revolutionaries, established in 1901, were a major political party in early 20th-century Russia and a key player in the Russian Revolution. They advocated for a democratic republic, universal voting rights, and the separation of church and state. Emphasizing the leadership of the peasantry in revolution, they garnered widespread support before being defeated by the Bolsheviks. Despite internal splits and a decline in significance post-1917, the Social Revolutionaries' impact on Russian politics remains notable. Their struggle for workers' rights and political freedoms shaped the revolutionary landscape.
