The First conference of socialists-revolutionaries working at the Moscow railway junction in 1917
The article aims to study the activities of the Moscow Railway Bureau of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, which made an attempt to provide a solid foundation for the organisation of socialists-revolutionaries working at the Moscow railway junction and develop a common line of conduct in their work on the railways. In order to achieve this goal, the Moscow Railway Bureau of the Socialist Revolutionary Party organised and held a conference of socialists-revolutionaries working on the railways in Moscow on June 18, 1917. The author of the article points out that the main issues, considered by the conference of socialists-revolutionaries working at the Moscow railway junction in 1917, were the attitude to the constantly arising individual trade unions of railway workers and to the All-Russian Railway Union, its draft charter drawn up by the railway conference held in April 1917. The Socialist Revolutionary Party were active in the ranks of railway workers in 1917, trying to provide them with a lasting institutional framework. The article concludes that the First conference of socialists-revolutionaries working at the Moscow railway junction in 1917 contributed to performing the tasks set out by socialists-revolutionaries, to determining the attitude of socialists-revolutionaries to the railway movement as a whole.
