On the second anniversary of theOctober Revolution 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Revolution>, a friend of 
Trotsky,Adolf Ioffe <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Ioffe>, wrote an 
article on the Military Revolutionary Committee of thePetrograd Soviet 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrograd_Soviet>for theCommunist 
International 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_International>titled “The First 
Proletarian Government.”^[8] 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Revolutionary_Committee#cite_note-8> 
The MRC was created approximately two weeks before the Bolsheviks seized 
power in response to the decision of theProvisional Government 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_Government>under Kerensky to 
transfer military units that were suspected of being too strongly under 
the influence of Bolsheviks or other radical parties.^[9] 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Revolutionary_Committee#cite_note-9>

Initially, the MRC had 66 identified members. Of these members, 48 were 
Bolsheviks, fourteen wereLeft Socialist-Revolutionaries 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_Socialist-Revolutionaries>, and four 
wereAnarchists <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchists>. In contrast to 
the Bolsheviks, the Left Socialist-Revolutionaries abided by their own 
official ideology ofRadical Populism 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Radical_Populism&action=edit&redlink=1>, 
and the Anarchists, from theFederation of Anarchist Groups 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Federation_of_Anarchist_Groups&action=edit&redlink=1>,
