The Russian Socialist Party

The communist y wanted to short circuit any revival of s r fortunes, given the ongoing social and economic conditions. The clever way they planned to go about doing this was by narrowly targeting the leadership - painting them as perfidious judases of the revolution. In this way, leaders would be cleaved from followers, and the s rs as a party would be dealt a final fatal blow from which they would never recover. This was fratricide of the worst kind.
