The Bolsheviks Are About to Come Roaring Back to Life

There were rumors squirling the capital that the bolsheviks were planning to stage another major demonstration on october 20 seventh, which was the six month anniversary of the petrograd garrison's mutiny. Even if it wasn't armed or violent, this demonstration might prove the perfect pretext for declaring martial law. Kornilov agreed to send the third cavalry corps and they would be put at kerensky's disposal in the increasingly likely event that the government had to declare martial law.
