Bolsheviks Resigning

With a crisis atmosphere brewing, the bolsheviks had to walk a careful line between encouraging resistance and hostility to the government. Four of the cadet ministers immediately resigned in protest over the issue of ukraine's position inside a post revolutionary russian empire. The machine gunners in the viborg district were holding all night meetings. They spent the whole evening arguing and convincing each other that what they needed to do was force the soviet to overthrow the provisional government.
