ABSTRACT
The work of Constituent National Assembly was bound to end in an outspoken democracy, friendly to the workers and peasants, but it was never able to begin its work, for at its inception it was broken up forcibly by the fists of the Military. This led to the end of the democratic revolution. The democratic Socialists in the rest of Russia had greatly to repent their unarmed state. The Bolsheviks alone had the audacity simply to demand that the Army should be disbanded, leaving the Russian frontiers open to the Germans, the Austrians, and the Turks. They expected that the answer to such boldness would be the disbanding of the other armies and the World Revolution. A social revolution proceeds from a political revolution. The social and political conditions of a State act and react upon one another. The political conditions are more visible and easily grasped than the social, because their fundamentals are summarised in short laws or decrees.
