- Immediate Problems faced by the Bolshevik government
- significant uprising from the Soviet itself
- strikes and campaigns in all major ministries and government departments
- banks, post/telegraph offices, railway administration and councils
- Trotsky not respected in the ministry of foreign affairs
- refusal of state bank and the treasury to honour governments cash demands
- without money to pay its supporters the Bolsheviks regime they could not hope to survive long
- Only masters of central Russia and the industrial areas and those outside the borderlands had claimed independence
- the new regime workers were not happy, they were promised socialism but were brought empty factories and destitution
- small party and small power base only 200,000 and army in the process of dissolution
- hard to establish a force or threat
- Menshevik leaders organised forces to put pressure on the Bolsheviks to relinquish power
- the people were promised 'all power to the Soviets' - this did not happen
