The Menshevik
Dan, citing fears of a counter-revolutionary military dictatorship, offers a
three-part resolution in the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets:
·
That the revolution is in danger.
·
That the Provisional Government is the
“Salvation of the Revolution.”
·
That therefore this government should have
“unlimited powers.”
It passed the
Central Executive unanimously with only the Bolsheviks abstaining.
On this day, the
summer offensive on the Rumanian Front began. Rumanian troops supported the
Russian 4th Army in the attack, which had to be thrown back by a
force of mixed nationalities commanded by the German General Mackensen. Meanwhile,
the German counterattack on the Southwestern Front was already a “catastrophe”
for the Russian 11th Army, according to its commissars. Its
commander, General Kornilov, gave orders to shoot retreating troops.
A supplementary
post follows this one in the chronological order.
