Political struggle in the Romanian battlefront in 1917 (following Russian Periodicals)

The article focuses on the political struggle among various party groups in the Romanian battlefront after the Revolution in February 1917, following the Russian periodicals of the time. The author finds the point of view of reporters on events on the Romanian front extremely interesting. It should be noted that the newspapers of 1917 provide very scarce data on the military events and political situation in the front, with the information coming with great delay. The author emphasises the destructive political struggle of Russian parties in the theatre of operations. Being psychologically dislocated, the Russian armies suffered heavy political pressure from various parties, which was lowering their already low morale. It was the Bolsheviks who, who were especially successful in this, urging the soldiers to deploy their bayonets against the central government.
