Pogroms were used as a method of struggle even among the civilian population as a method of intimidation and restoration of order. They organized fighting squads, which were often called the “Black Hundred”.

I. Monarchical-nationalist parties

The largest and most famous are the “Union of the Russian People” (since 1905, leader - A.I. Dubrovin, Markov brothers) and “Union of Michael - Archangel” (since 1907, leader - V.M. Purishkevich). Social composition: very varied, mainly dominated by representatives of the petty bourgeoisie (shopkeepers, artisans, handicraftsmen, cab drivers, etc.), but there were also nobles, peasants, and workers.

The maximum number was 100 thousand people in 1907, but there was no fixed membership.

The program goals are the preservation of autocracy, the fight against revolutionaries, blaming foreigners and, above all, Jews for all troubles; extremely nationalistic, anti-Semitic slogans: “Russia for Russians”, “Beat the Jews - save Russia” (these slogans contain the essence of the party, which relied on the base instincts of the crowd). Methods: allowed violence and terror, pogroms.

These parties had great influence in III and partly in IV State Dumas, by 1917 they actually disintegrated into smaller political entities, and after 1917 they ceased to exist.

II. Bourgeois-liberal parties

They can be divided into 2 wings:

1. Moderately conservative.

They were led by the Octobrist party (“Union of October 17”). It was formed in November 1905 and named after the Manifesto of October 17. Leader: A.I. Guchkov. Maximum number: 60 thousand people in 1907. Social composition: large entrepreneurs, intelligentsia. Program goals: further development political freedoms granted by the Manifesto of October 17, the ideal is a limited constitutional monarchy, Special attention paid economic issue: freedom of enterprise, rejection of petty tutelage by the state; against the eight-hour working day; fully supported Stolypin agrarian reform. She enjoyed particular influence in the Third State Duma. After 1917 they ceased to exist. Other parties: Commercial and Industrial (Ryabushinsky brothers), Progressive Economic Party. Methods: parliamentary only.

2. Liberal.

The largest party is the Cadets (“Constitutional Democratic Party or People’s Freedom Party”). Leader: P.N. Milyukov, was formed in October 1905 on the basis of the “Union of Liberation”. Maximum number: » 100 thousand in 1907. Social composition: intelligentsia. Program goals: the main focus was on the political block of issues: expansion of democratic freedoms, ideally universal suffrage; principle of “non-predecision”: the future form of government must be chosen constituent Assembly; the slogan of a “responsible ministry” before the Duma; for an eight-hour working day.


She enjoyed particular influence in the I and II State Dumas, then their influence fell, the size of the party decreased, then the initiators of the creation of the Progressive Bloc became more active in the IV State Duma; The “party in power” in March-April 1917 ceased to exist in the early 1920s. Methods: parliamentary struggle, allowed civil disobedience. Other parties: Progressive Party, Democratic Reform Party.

III. Socialist parties

The largest and most influential are the Socialist Revolutionary Party (SRs) and the RSDLP (Social Democrats).

What they have in common: a negative attitude towards the capitalist system, the ideal is a society without the exploitation of man by man - socialism; radical transformations of social and political system(all advocated the overthrow of the autocracy and the establishment of a democratic republic). They differed in ways and methods of achieving goals.

In general, socialist parties can also be divided into two wings:

Moderate.

A. People's Socialists (Enes) - the right wing of the Socialist Revolutionaries, emerged in 1905. Leader - A.V. Peshekhonov differed from the Socialist Revolutionaries in their rejection of terror and emphasized legal methods of struggle. Greatest influence were used in the 1st and 2nd State Dumas, where their program was adopted by peasant deputies (“trudoviks”), then this party lost influence.

The B. Mensheviks (the right wing of the RSDLP) emerged in 1905 at the Third Congress of the RSDLP; Leaders: Plekhanov, Dan, Martov. Social composition: intelligentsia, workers. They almost always outnumbered the Bolsheviks. Program goals: disagreed with the Bolsheviks regarding the prospects for building socialism in Russia ® believed that in Russia there are no economic prerequisites for this, a long path of capitalist development is necessary, therefore during the revolution of 1905 - 1907. advocated an alliance with the bourgeois parties and opposed the independent role of the Social Democrats. Methods: a combination of legal and illegal with a predominance of the former.

The party ceased to exist by the mid-1920s.

2. Radical.

A. Social Revolutionaries - the party was formed in 1902 on the basis of populist circles. Leaders: V.M. Chernov and M.A. Spiridonova. Social composition: intelligentsia, peasants, workers. Maximum number: » 60 thousand in 1905 and up to 500 thousand in 1917. Program goals - considered themselves to be representatives of the interests of the peasants ® The main emphasis was on the agrarian program (“socialization of the land”). Methods: violent and, above all, individual terror, like the populists. A special feature is the presence of a Combat Organization.

B. Bolsheviks (the left wing of the RSDLP) received their name due to the fact that supporters of Lenin’s program received the majority of votes in the elections to the party’s governing bodies at the Second Congress. Leader: V.I. Lenin. Social composition: intelligentsia, workers. Program goals: they believed that, although in Russia there are no economic prerequisites for the transition to socialism, they can be artificially created ® for this, the Social Democrats must act as independent force, seize power and, having established the “dictatorship of the proletariat,” carry out the necessary transformations “from above,” hence the boycott of the elections to the First Duma, refusal to support the bourgeois parties. They considered themselves spokesmen for the interests of the workers and focused on social issues (eight-hour working day, workers' control, etc.). Methods: a combination of legal and illegal with a predominance of the latter. Since October 1917 - “the party in power.”

Agrarian programs of political parties at the beginning of the 20th century

“Union of the Russian People” - for the preservation of the community as an original feature of the Russian people, to solve the issue of land shortage by organizing resettlement at state expense and organizing agricultural credit.

Octobrists - their agrarian program actually coincided with the program of the Stolypin government, so they fully supported the Stolypin agrarian reform.

Cadets - allowed the possibility of confiscation of part of the landowners' lands in excess of the established maximum, but with mandatory payments the state costs land to landowners. Then these lands were to be sold to peasants at preferential prices, including on credit. The principle of private property was considered unshakable.

Socialist Revolutionaries - the “socialization of the land” program: provided for the abolition of private ownership of land, the gratuitous confiscation of landowners’ lands and their transfer for free use to peasants according to labor (how much one family can work without the use of hired labor) and consumer norms (depending on the number of family members) . It was extremely popular among peasants and became the basis of the Decree on Land on October 26, 1917.

The Mensheviks - the program of “municipalization of the land”: the same as that of the Socialist Revolutionaries, but all the land was transferred to the jurisdiction of self-government bodies (municipalities), and then distributed among the peasants.

Bolsheviks - the “land nationalization” program ® also provided for the abolition of private ownership of land, the confiscation of landowners’ lands, but then all the land became the property of the state (nationalized) and only then distributed among the peasants, with preference given to large forms of farming (collective farms, artels) .

Conclusion: in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. existed wide range political parties and movements, from the far right to the far left. The peculiarity is that their activities were hampered in every possible way by the autocratic political regime. This predetermined the oppositional nature of most parties, the weakness of the political center, and the tendency towards increasing polarization and radicalization of socio-political forces.
