By that time the military and strategic situation of Russia had become more difficult due of the rise of Germany and Japan, and Russian central administration and the idea of Pan-Slavism had grown in Saint Petersburg.

The disintegration and weakness of Russia induced an idea of " Grand Finland " among the more nationalistic factions of both the right and left ; a part of the Red faction had plans concerning the same areas ( Heimosodat ).

One of the major blows for the idea of the conquest of Russia was the Battle of the Ice in 1242.

In this circumstance, the idea of Russia involving the Southern Slavic unity under Serbian helm was favored.

Many members of the Workers ' Opposition and the Decists ( both later banned ) and two new underground Left Communist groups, Gavril Myasnikov's Workers ' Group and the Workers ' Truth group, developed the idea that Russia was becoming a state capitalist society governed by a new bureaucratic class.
