"The October Revolution is passing through successive stages of development before our very eyes, winning power for the Soviets and wresting political rule from the bourgeoisie and transferring it to the proletariat and poor peasantry."
"It was raised in view of the fact that “right-wing sentiments have prevailed in the group, whose views differ from those of the Central Committee”."
"The bourgeoisie, the landowners and all the rich classes are making desperate efforts to undermine the revolution...They have even gone so far as to sabotage food distribution, thereby menacing millions of people with famine."
"The fateful hour is approaching. The last fight is at hand. The whole country and all the nations of our republic are divided into two great camps."
"The illusion that only the bourgeoisie could run the state must be fought against. The proletariat must take the rule of the state upon itself."
"We, the Council of People’s Commissars, recognise at once, unconditionally and without reservations everything that pertains to the Ukrainian people’s national rights and national independence."
"We therefore declare that the party of the Cadets is a party of the bourgeoisie, that they are enemies of the people, and that we shall fight them."
"Although only a few days remain before the Constituent Assembly is summoned, the bourgeoisie are organising civil war, intensifying sabotage and undermining the armistice."
