62) . On October 26, the Military Revolutionary Committee ordered the closure of a number of bourgeois newspapers that raised persecution against the Soviets. On October 28, Pravda published a decree of the Council of People's Commissars on the press. The Council of People's Commissars decided that “only the press organs are subject to closure: 1) calling for open resistance or disobedience to the workers 'and peasants' government, 2) sowing discord by means of a clearly slanderous distortion of facts, 3) calling for actions of a clearly criminal nature, that is, a criminal offense ... "
The issue of printing was discussed on November 4 at a meeting of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee. Larin made a proposal to repeal the decree. The discussion of this question became, in essence, a discussion of the question of defending the gains of the revolution and caused a heated debate. Performers were Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. By a majority of 34 votes to 24, with one abstention, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee adopted a resolution of the Bolsheviks. Then the Left Socialist-Revolutionaries announced that they were withdrawing their representatives from the Military Revolutionary Committee and from other responsible posts. They were supported by a group of right-wing capitulators (Rykov, Milyutin, Teodorovich, Nogin, etc.), who announced their withdrawal from the Council of People's Commissars.
The withdrawal of the representative of the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, Ustinov, from the Military Revolutionary Committee was the result of a speech by the Left Socialist Revolutionaries against the actions of the Council of People's Commissars to strengthen the October conquests.
Trying to rely on the Kamenevites and Trotskyists in the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the second convocation and to oppose the All-Russian Central Executive Committee to the Council of People's Commissars, the Left Socialist Revolutionaries sharply opposed the Soviet government, but were rebuffed from the majority of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee — p. 178.
