Page "History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union" Paragraph 17

Another legally functioning central organ of the Party was the Bolshevik group in the Fourth State Duma.

In 1912 the government decreed elections to the Fourth Duma.

The RSDLP ( b ) decided to participate in the elections.

The RSDLP ( b ) acted independently, under its own slogans, in the Duma elections, simultaneously attacking both the government parties and the liberal bourgeoisie ( Constitutional-Democrats ).

The slogans of the Bolsheviks in the election campaign were a democratic republic, an 8-hour day and the confiscation of the landed estates.
