Progressive Bloc (Russia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Progressive Bloc was an alliance of political forces in Russia. It was formed when the Russian Duma was recalled to session during the War, Nicholas II's response to mounting social tensions. In July 1915, the Progressive Party combined with the Cadet Party, Left Octobrists, and Nationalists came together to form a political front in the Duma that supported a social-chauvinist stance towards the continuation of World War I and it called for a responsible parliamentary government.[1]
