Democratic Doctrinaires and the Idea of the Far-Eastern "Buffer" State in the Late 1919 - Early 1920: a Chance for Political Survival?
The article brings forward the analysis of the ideological directives of the two basic social parties of Russia - Socialist-Revolutionaries and Socialist - Democrats (Mensheviks) at the end of the Russian Civil war. During the period in a separate region of the country - in the Far East - in connection with the idea to build an externally independent from red Moscow buffer state the median grouping seemed to have acquired a perspective to fulfil their political programs. However, the doctrinaire character of the logical and externally inviting intelligent-like projects, the isolation of democratic ideologies from the militant political realia of the country and the mentality of its population, the helplessness of the Socialist- Revolutionaries and Mensheviks in the political and organization spheres once again brought the idea of democracy in Russia to the naturally determined regrettable results. There wasnt a real alternative to the dictatorship in Russia.
