The main parties were the friendly democrats (Bolsheviks and Mensheviks), Social Revolutionaries and Liberals (Octobrists and Kadets). Each of these radical parties had their take separate beliefs on what Russia needed and from individually one aimed for some sort of change. However, within the groupings, there were many issues, which they refuse to work with each other to solve.The SR believed that Russias future lay with the peasantry and so they cherished to give peasants their own refine and improve living conditions for working classes.
