GEOGRAPHY OF THE REVOLUTION: Location and Activities of SR’s Party on the Territory of Ardat District of Simbirsk Province in 1905–1909

 

Introduction. The centenary of the great Russian revolution actualized the study of unexplored issues in the activities of political parties of the Russian Empire of the early twentieth century. One of them is the study of the direct placement of party groups and organizations in the regions of the country. Materials and methods. As a methodological base of the research the historical-genetic method is used, which allows, using a variety of sources, to recreate a real and objective picture of the essence of this study. Results. The main task is to conduct a study of anti-government activities in relation to the geography of Ardatov district. The placement of groups and individual representatives of the party of S.R. in relation to the district organization is investigated, taking into account the role of the Ardatov organization of the party in their occurrence. It is noted that representatives of the regional party organization took part in the creation of all local groups of S.R. in the district, and members of the district organization were the main agitators and propagandists in this period of time. It should be noted that the activities of the district organization did not affect the District evenly, which makes it possible to identify the areas most susceptible to S.R. influence. Discussion and Conclusions. The study made it possible to clearly structure the placement of S.R. groups and organizations on the territory of Ardatov District. You can say about sort of two S.R. rings located around the Ardatov with a diameter of 5–15 and 30–50 kilometers which were located almost all of S.R. groups, and there were some members of the party in 1905–1908. The most active representatives of the district organizations «processed» the Central and Western part of the district, and the area located to the South-East of Ardatov was not practically felt the impact of S.R. party.

Keywords: revolution, the party of socialist-revolutionaries, organization, propaganda, illegal literature, leaflets, meeting, police.
