You were very clearly implying they were regular subjects and not soldiers, who regardless of class origin would be more likely to resonate with the imagery pictured.

The underlying point, monarch bamboozling idiots with a shitty jesus picture, is still accurate.

I'm not terribly sympathetic to the last of the Romanovs because of their cruel treatment of their subjects but you sound annoying and gay so unfortunately I am actually a Tsarist partisan now. Look at what you've done to me.

Weak argument. Christ himself lived like a peasant.
Think you've greatly misunderstood me, friends.
I'm not against religion or God, my issue is with the very cynical way the Tsar is waving a picture of Jesus at people he believes to be beneath him and they're supposed to lap it up like serfs of old because of it.
Reminds me of a dog trainer waving treats at moronic mutts.

You believe what you do because you cannot fathom that the king is also a Christian. Blessing soldiers has been the duty of monarchs since the first crown was forged. I have no doubt Tsar Nicholas believed in Christ and the creeds of the church more than any given socialist alive or dead.

At least have the dignity to be a half decent right winger like a fascist.
You're such a fricking moron
Also does anyone know if they'll bring back the number of posters?
Lots of support for the SRs among the rural peasantry and lots of support for the Bolsheviks among the Baltic Fleet centers and in the industrial cities to the west, especially Petrograd
I was only asking because I remember reading about how the government was "diverse" in its parties after the overthrow of the Tsar and many wanted liberalism, I never knew it was majority socialist.
"Socialist" is a very wide-reaching spectrum in early 20th century Russian politics. The Bolsheviks fricking hated SRs.

the Bolsheviks were the only party that advocated for pulling out of the war at any cost, while all of the liberal and other socialist parties wanted to stay in for long enough to either get a better bargaining position, or until the allies won entirely

The Bolsheviks represented the industrial proletariat, the SRs the peasantry. The SRs had a long legacy of Russian thought (in particular the Narodniks) while the Bolsheviks were fully Marxist. The SRs didn't want a single-party state, the Bolsheviks did.
Could have been Amerimutt influence when they brand everything left wing as liberalism. However Russian culture is not compatible with liberalism.

I think the catch is that Russia has been really influential in anarchism and there were 9/10 points of similarity with the reds before the USSR was formed. Russians seem like they come in two types: authoritarians and anarchists. Whichever one they are, they go wherever they want, borders don't stop them.
Prigozhin wasn't an anarchist but can you imagine an American doing what he did? Russians are crazy fricks like honey badgers. They'll also eat almost damn near anything, then they pass out for a few minutes, and get back up and start eating all over again. Ew! How disgusting.

Prigozhin is a different case of the current Russia being more similar to a feudal kingdom, with him being a typical mercenary leader who went against his employers when he felt they were going to stab him in the back (which they did). As for Russians, you can say that they are just radicals and push every political idea to the extreme.

Left SRs (a minority faction comprising ~2% of the SR party at most) arrested Kolchak. Left SRs aligned with Bolsheviks and broke off from regular SRs, them and the Mensheviks were the only ones allowed to stay active in the earliest days of the USSR before they got purged too.

So the good guys?

You know you can go work at an Amazon warehouse if you want the hecking trad experience.
Bolsheviks, without question
>60% of the population were socialists
How true is this?
The SRs, of course.
Entirely. Russia was a peasant country and peasants were sick of the war and of serfdom. But they were not Marxists.

Unironically the Bolsheviks. You know Russia is a fricked up place when the Bolsheviks managed to be the least fricked up among the factions.

SRs, mostly because the Bolsheviks were cartoonishly evil morons.

He was probably the most evil guy in this period.
He wasn't evil at all. He was just dangerously moronic (which is a good thing).

Why did the SRs arrest Kolchak?
Left SRs (a minority faction comprising ~2% of the SR party at most) arrested Kolchak. Left SRs aligned with Bolsheviks and broke off from regular SRs, them and the Mensheviks were the only ones allowed to stay active in the earliest days of the USSR before they got purged too.
>Why did [avowed anti-reactionaries] arrest [leader of reaction in Siberia]?
The more interesting thing is how they didn't immediately just shoot him
