All Power to the Constituent Assembly

When the election results for the constituent assembly were announced in december, the frustrated rivals of the bolsheviks thrilled at the knowledge that they would finally be able to oust lenon's unnatural government. The right s rs also sent activists into the trenches and to the barracks and the factories to talk up the constituent assembly as the sacred culmination of the revolution. When militant members of the party showed the s r central committee their plan to assassinate lenin and tronsky, the central committee forbade the plot. And when about ten thousand s r line soldiers in petrograd volunteered to stage an armed demonstration coinciding with the opening of the constituent assembly, it was rejected by the Central Committee.
