views
SRs from the beginning of the birth of their political movement believed that Russia is very different from Western Europe.Because of this, their vision of change and the direct road to socialism was different from what was happening in the west.Typical SR - a revolutionary, whose views were largely borrowed from the populists, the immediate predecessors of the movement.However, history has shown them that the social ideas underlying the party program, it is absolutely not suitable for, so you can make the right decision in the period of revolutionary catastrophe.This realization has led to the fact that in the period from February to October 1917 representatives of the movement away from its main program provisions and decided to ally with the liberal-bourgeois forces.
1917
Soon after the February revolution, the party members decided to agree with the political line of the Mensheviks, during this period the group separated, bearing the name of "the Left Socialist Revolutionaries."This, according to the revolutionaries meant they support the idea that Russia and its government are not ready for a serious socialist revolution.That is their main goal is to promote the bourgeois Provisional Government.
This led to the fact that the representatives of the party became part of the government system.This was reflected in the fact that the Social Revolutionaries began to support a decision on the continuation of the war, which, in turn, affected the land issue that remained unresolved until the end of the confrontation, that is, until the moment when the soldiers returned from the front.During this period the Bolsheviks, on the contrary, decided to include the basic views of the SRs in their political agenda.
Bolshevik VS Eser
This fact, however, did not change the fact that the party radically different from each other, as the Bolsheviks had a more innovative look.That is why they were able to learn a new picture of the world, which developed during the most recent events.The Bolsheviks were not going to obey the tenets of Marxism and managed to become a part of the people, worthy of representing their interests.
Bolsheviks managed to carry out his revolutionary program is much more organic than it had been able to make the ideological heirs of the Populists - Right SRs.This was the result of what Marxists realized revolution bypassed the stage of capitalist development.Then SRs decided to no longer take such an active part in politics and recognize the political power of the Mensheviks.
Soon, people turned away from those who bore the proud title of "SR".This was due course defencist party.Its representatives were in favor of continuing the war and supported the bourgeoisie that did not raise their prestige in the eyes of the people.
Socialist-Revolutionary Party was an important step in the development of the revolutionary movement in Russia.Without it, the revolution was carried out would be more problematic and could lead to very different consequences, which certainly would affect the state of the art and the role of Russia in the international political arena.
