The Party of Socialist-Revolutionaries, also known as the SRs, was a left-wing party in the Russian Empire. Like the Second International, it supported the imperialist Great War[1] and opposed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.[2] The SRs also believed universal suffrage in a bourgeois democracy could lead to socialism.[3]
