Izvestia, the official organ of the
Petrograd Soviet, thinks it necessary to declare that the Soviet had not
interfered with the “legally constituted” authority of the Provisional
Government by its actions during the April Days. Since the demonstrators were
calling for more rather than less interference, the Soviet thus remained less
revolutionary-minded than the people themselves.
Nor could a
Bolshevik motion for a vote of no confidence in the government come within
hundreds of votes of passage. The Petrograd Soviet also politely ignored a
resolution of the Helsinki Soviet, backed by revolutionary sailors, offering to
help remove the Provisional Government.
