Izvestia, the official organ of the
Petrograd Soviet, reports a plan for more factory closings.
On the same day,
the Vyborg Soviet adopted a resolution condemning the summer offensive as an
“adventure of the Provisional Government” on behalf of “old robber treaties”
with Russia’s partners in the Entente. The soviet held the Mensheviks and Social
Revolutionaries equally responsible.
Meanwhile the
Congress of Soviets adjourned without taking any further action against the
Bolsheviks, or, for that matter, against the Provisional Government. At
some point during the Congress, the delegates named a Central Executive Committee
and gave it formal authority over all the other soviets created after the
February Revolution. Up to then, the Executive Committee of the Petrograd Soviet had
exercised this authority informally.
