Riazanov, a
Marxist of long standing, announces that the Bolsheviks will attend the
Pre-Parliament in order to “expose all attempts at a new coalition with the
bourgeoisie.”
Meanwhile,
delegates of the disbanded Democratic Convention brought the question of
convening the Congress of Soviets before the Central Executive Committee. The
Bolsheviks demanded that it convene within two weeks, otherwise they would call
their own congress of delegates from the Moscow and Petrograd soviets, where
they had majorities. The Central Executive agreed to call the All Russian
Congress on October 20 (November 2, new style).
