A conference of
all the soviets of revolutionary Russia convenes in Petrograd. Attending Bolsheviks
voted along with the rest of the conference in favor of sharing power with the
Provisional Government.
The Bolsheviks
also discussed reunification with the Mensheviks, something that was already
taking place in the provinces. Some favored reunification without conditions.
Molotov objected, as the Mensheviks had taken the defensist position for
keeping Russia in the war. Stalin favored negotiating the terms of
reconciliation with the Mensheviks. The negotiations continued until Lenin’s
arrival the following week.
