Abstract

In article interparty opposition in the Ekaterinoslav City Council concerning events 24 - on October, 25th, 1917 in Petrograd is considered and analyzed. In Ekaterinoslav, as well as on all country, overthrow of Provisional government and coming to power of Bolsheviks in Petrograd has caused an acute reaction of party-political forces of a city. The City Council became one of places of their opposition. Collision in its walls of different party-political forces on this question was inevitable. The selected works on August, 13th, 1917 city self-management of Ekaterinoslav have been generated mainly under party lists and was most completely displayed party-political sympathies of electorate of the provincial centre. By this criterion members of the City Council approximately have been half presented by moderate socialist parties, on the one fifth Bolsheviks and on one third conservative figures. In this situation party-political forces a City Council position in an estimation of events 24 - on October, 25th, 1917 in Petrograd it was predicted, as have confirmed sessions on October, 26th and 27.Attracts attention the first day of session of the City Council, devoted basically to the informing on occurring events. It is indicative that from 12 Bolsheviks present at this session (it is more than half of all fraction) nobody has acted. We weed fights on this point in question there was a session on October, 27th. As one would expect, only the lecturer from Bolsheviks has completely supported and has approved events in Petrograd, moderate socialists, cadets, the Jewish fraction have opposed, condemning actions of Bolsheviks, calling for Constituent assembly protection, creation of the homogeneous socialist government and a unification of forces of revolutionary democracy.
