In 1917, in the torrent of the ** revolution, an order was about to overthrow the entire country's army, greatly weakening its combat capability. This command is called"Order One"., although it was ostensibly for the benefit of the soldiers, it created an opportunity for socialist extremists to take over power. Next, we will explore the far-reaching impact of this order on the course of the revolution.
Since 1905, Russia has experienced many strikes and uprisings, but previous attempts at revolution have been suppressed by the army and the state. However, in 1917, a series of strikes shook the political order, revealing that the Tsar** had long since lost popular support. It was at this time that the Russian army came out in support of the rebellion, turning the strike in Petrograd into the spark of the February Revolution. The soldiers set foot on the streets for the first time, gathering to drink, talk, and sometimes take their place in key defensive positions. They began to strengthen the emerging Soviets and turned the tide against the Tsar to the point where he finally agreed to abdicate. As a result, a new ** is about to be refined.
The provisional **, made up of old Duma deputies, had hoped that the army would return to the barracks and restore order. Yet thousands of out-of-control military personnel roam around, worrying liberals who are deeply worried about the socialist takeover. However, the army fears that they will be punished if they are reinstated. So, they demanded their own security, "had doubts" about the integrity of the "temporary **" and turned to another "political force" that held real power: the Petrograd Soviet. As a group of socialists and a large number of soldiers, the Petrograd Soviet became the dominant force in the street demonstrations. At that time, there seemed to be a "temporary", but in fact there were two "temporary", and the Petrograd Soviet represented the other of these two opposing regimes.
In order to protect the fighters, the Soviets issued a major order. This order listed the various requirements of the soldiers, laid down the conditions for their return to the barracks, and established a new military regime:The soldiers are accountable to their own democratic councils, and there are no appointed officers;The army obeyed the orders of the Soviets, and only after the approval of the Soviets did they obey the "temporary **" It is worth noting that when the soldiers were off duty, they should have the same rights as "citizens" and did not even need to perform a cumbersome salute. These measures were well received by the soldiers and were widely adopted.
However, the soldiers were extremely abusive of this order, and they tried to decide on the strategy through the committee, to commit violence against undesirable officers, and to make threats against the command. Army discipline was undermined, the combat capability of a large number of troops was destroyed. This question would have not been impressive and not a big one, but the Russian army at that time was trying to participate in the First World War, and their soldiers showed greater loyalty to the socialists. Thus, by the time the Bolsheviks seized power later that year, the army had lost the ability to be mobilized.
Conclusion: Through an in-depth analysis of the order, it is not difficult to see that this seemingly well-intentioned order made it possible to lose the combat capability of the army, making it more likely that socialist extremists would take over power. However, under the influence of Order No. 1, the revolutionary process also became more complex and deep. This makes one think that in order to achieve an ideal, we should pursue progress in a balanced way, and avoid causing bigger problems because of good intentions.
