Socialist Revolutionary Party
The
Socialist Revolutionary Party
, or
Party of Socialists Revolutionaries
(the
SRs
; ) was a major political party in early 20th century Russia and a key player in the
Russian Revolution
. Its general ideology was
revolutionary socialism
of
democratic socialist
and
agrarian socialist
forms. After the
February Revolution
of 1917, it shared power with other liberal and democratic socialist forces within the
Russian Provisional Government
. In November 1917, it won a plurality of the national vote in
Russia's first-ever democratic elections
(to the
Russian Constituent Assembly
), but the
October Revolution
had changed the political landscape and the Bolsheviks disbanded the Constituent Assembly in January 1918. The SRs soon split into pro-
Bolshevik
and anti-Bolshevik factions. The anti-Bolshevik faction of this party, known as the Right SRs, which remained loyal to
Alexander Kerensky
was defeated and destroyed by the
Bolsheviks
in the course of the
Russian Civil War
and subsequent persecution.
