The Soviets Have Reduced All of Russia to a Gritty State

On march tenth, the kronstadt rebels responded with an article titled to the soldiers fighting on the communist side. It laid out the grim state of russia early 19 21: "The peasants and townsfolk have lost all hope for an improvement of their lives" But as i said, these messages were not breaking through to the mainland. And by the second week of march 19 21, kronstadt was not the spear point of a vast revolution, but an isolated outpost increasingly doomed to be stormed and captured. As paul averitch notes in his book on kronstadt, they may have made the same fatal error that the paris commune had made 50 years earlier.
