The Left Socialist Revolutionaries and the July 1918 Uprising The summer of 1918 is unpredictable and dynamic. The fate of Soviet power hangs in the balance. The Left Socialist Revolutionaries, the last influential Soviet opposition party, want to break the Brest-Litovsk Treaty and return Russia to the war. The Fifth Congress of Soviets: power to the Soviets or to the Bolsheviks? Shots ring out in the German embassy in Moscow – Ambassador Wilhelm von Mirbach is killed. Germany sends a note of protest to the Soviet government demanding the deployment of a German battalion to protect diplomats. Chaos reigns in the Russian capital; the Cheka building is seized by Socialist Revolutionaries. Latvian Riflemen arrive to assist the Bolsheviks in suppressing the rebels. At the same time, an anti-Bolshevik uprising breaks out in Yaroslavl. On the Eastern Front, General Muravyov, seeking to unite with the Czechoslovak Corps, mutinies and declares a march on Moscow. Muravyov is killed, Yaroslavl is burned, and the Socialist Revolutionaries face repression. A one-party dictatorship is established in Russia. 00:00 Why was the Left Socialist Revolutionary uprising in 1918 an important event? 01:06 How was the Left Socialist Revolutionary uprising similar to the Decembrist Revolt? 01:45 Who were the Left Socialist Revolutionaries? 02:51 What failed the Left Socialist Revolutionaries? 04:27 How did the socialism of the Socialist Revolutionaries differ from the socialism of the Bolsheviks? 06:17 What was wrong with the Left SR leaders? 07:58 How to resume the war in full force? 10:17 Fifth Congress of Soviets – Left SRs vs. Bolsheviks 11:29 Why did the German ambassador Mirbach provoke the indignation of the Left SRs? 14:33 Germany issues an ultimatum to the Soviet government 15:18 Why did the Left SRs arrest Dzerzhinsky? 18:38 Why was the Left SR uprising strange? 19:03 Why didn't the Germans need to resume the war on the Eastern Front? 19:29 What did Lenin decide to do with the rebellious Left SRs? 20:04 What did the Left SRs declare at the Fifth Congress of Soviets? 21:06 What did the Bolsheviks do in response to the Left SRs' uprising? 22:30 What did the Left Socialist Revolutionaries expect from the Latvian Riflemen? 24:51 How did the Bolsheviks deal with the Left Socialist Revolutionaries? 28:10 Adoption of the first Russian Constitution 30:52 Anti-Bolshevik uprising in Yaroslavl 39:00 General Muravyov revolts and announces a march on Moscow 44:33 How much did the fate of Soviet power hang in the balance?
