Episode notes
Right SRs' Approach
- The Right SRs focused on promoting the Constituent Assembly's importance through pamphlets and speeches.
- However, they rejected plans for violence, believing the assembly's sanctity would be enough.
Bolsheviks' Show of Force
- Bolsheviks, unlike Right SRs, readily used force, imposing martial law and stationing armed soldiers around the palace.
- An SR delegate described the scene as a military encampment, with soldiers armed with various weapons.
Public Apathy
- When soldiers fired upon unarmed demonstrators, marking the first such instance since February, public reaction was surprisingly indifferent.
- This lack of outrage suggests a shift in public sentiment or priorities.
