Although many Russians thought that the Constitutional Democrats, or Kadets, would be the party that would lead them through the Russian Revolution into the ranks of the Western European democracies, the Kadets were easily crushed by the Bolsheviks in the struggle for power. How the Kadets responded to the events of the revolution and failed at the time of the party's greatest crisis is the subject of William G. Rosenberg's study.As political history, the book examines the values, programs, organization, and tactices of Russia's most priminent liberal party from 1917 to 1921. As a study of the Russian Revolution and Civil War, it probes the strengths and weaknesses of the one political group whose politices did more to influence the outcome of events that any other political organization except the Bolsheviks.Based largely on party journals and emigre archives, the book focuses not only on the role of the Kadets in the revolution, but also on the broader issue of the relationship of Russiasn liberal politics to revolutionary social forces.William G.

The Constitutional Democratic Party, which was established in October 1905, during its First Congress adopted a program that took into consideration the peasant issue. Among many others, party members proposed landless peasants and smallholders to allocate state and appanage land as well as partial enfranchisement of lands, with refund paid to its owners in the regions with no land to offer. They postulated the creation of a state fund land, resettlement of peasants and regulation of the lease. The program in question was declared insufficient at the meeting of the Central Committee and the Second Party Congress in January 1906. However, party leaders with Paul Miliukov amongst them, decided that no changes should be implemented, which gravely affected the results of the elections to the State Duma in 1906 with only 4% of farmers voting for the party of cadets. ; Powstała w październiku 1905 roku Partia Konstytucyjno-Demokratyczna na swoim pierwszym zjeździe przyjęła program, w którym również znalazły się punkty dotyczące kwestii chłopskiej. Między innymi proponowano bezrolnym i małorolnym chłopom przydzielenie ziemi państwowej i apanażowej, a także częściowe uwłaszczenie ziemi obszarniczej za wynagrodzeniem dotychczasowym właścicielom w tych regionach, gdzie by jej nie wystarczało. Postulowano utworzenie państwowego funduszu ziemi, przesiedlanie chłopów i uregulowanie kwestii dzierżawy. Program ten na posiedzeniu Komitetu Centralnego i na drugim zjeździe partii w styczniu 1906 roku uznano za niewystarczający i proponowano jego zmianę. Jednak liderzy partii z Pawłem Milukowem na czele uznali, że nie należy dokonywać żadnych zmian, co odbiło się na rezultatach wyborów do I Dumy Państwowej w 1906 roku, kiedy tylko 4% chłopów głosowało na partię kadetów. ; -
