The Second All Russia Congress of Soviets

The day after trotsky became president of the petrograd soviet, he started advocating for a second all russian congress of soviets. The first such congress had been held back in june and we talked about it briefly in episode ten point 68. This is when the mensheviks and s as formed an overwhelming majority of both delegates and leaders. So you're goin to have to stick with me for a sect because we do need to untangle something so that all of this makes sense.
