Pipes, Richard. THE BOLSHEVIKS DISSOLVE THE CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY.
Survey [Great Britain] 1988 30(3): 148-175. Details
the manner in which the Bolsheviks dealt with the Constituent
Assembly from November 1917 to January 1918. The eventual dissolution
of the Assembly by a show of Bolshevik armed force brought forth no
counter uprising in the country and produced the collapse of the
socialist intelligentsia. The rivals of the Bolsheviks, though backed
by at least three-fourths of the population, were disunited,
leaderless, and above all, unwilling to fight. As a result, the
Bolsheviks came to power by force and violence; their willingness to
resort to such brutal measures whenever they ran into opposition
marked their subsequent modes of governing. Excerpted from the
author's multivolume History of the Russian Revolution. Based
on Soviet historical works and secondary sources; 72 notes.
