However, in spite of the protestations, and even of the departure
of a great number of delegates (those of the Revolutionary
Socialist fraction, Mensheviki, and Populist-Socialists), a new
Executive Committee of the Soviets was elected. To consider this
last as the central director of all the Soviets of the country was
absolutely impossible. The delegates who remained in the Congress
formed only an assembly of a group with a little fraction of the
Revolutionary Socialists of the Left, who had given their adhesion
to them. Thus the Central Committee named by their Conference
could not be considered except as representatives of these two
groups only.
Bringing to the organization of Soviets an unheard-of disorder,
establishing by their shameful methods of fighting its domination
over the Soviets, some of which were taken by surprise, the others
terrorized and broken in their personnel, deceiving the working
class and the army by its short-sighted policy of adventure, the
new Executive Committee during the two months that have since
passed has attempted to subject all the Soviets of Russia to its
influence.
