Let it be thus placed in clear daylight, the true character of
those who, under pretext of following the well-being of the
workers, forge new chains for liberated Russia, those who attempt
to assassinate the Constituent Assembly, which alone is able to
save Russia from the foreign yoke and from the despotism which has
been born within.
Let all the citizens know that the hour is near when they must be
ready to rise like one man for the defense of their liberty and
their Constituent Assembly.
For, citizens, your salvation is solely in your own hands.
Citizens! you know that on the day assigned for the opening of the
Constituent Assembly, November 28th, all the
Socialist-Revolutionist deputies who were elected had come to
Petrograd. You know that neither violence of a usurping power nor
arrests of our comrades, by force of arms which were opposed to us
at the Taurida Palace, could prevent us from assembling and
fulfilling our duty.
But the civil war which has spread throughout the country retarded
the election to the Constituent Assembly and the number of
deputies elected was insufficient.
