That's pre-lim, right?

I'm a wee bit fuzzy on rev. groups but here are some groups:

- Nihilists/ Anarchists - Wanted the complete destruction of social structures, mainly comprised of university students who were angry at Russia's lack of industrial and political development
- (Some land-reform party): Appealed to the Russian peasantry for support but were quickly crushed by the OKRANA after the stupid peasants shut them down in favour of the Tsar's land handouts.
- Socialists - Wanted more civil liberties and greater powers given to the Dumas; their protests promted the October Manifesto of 1905.
- (IMPORTANT WORKERS, SOMETHINGOROTHERPARTY LED BY LENIN) - Split in 1903 into the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, followed the work of Karl Marx.

Sorry, that's all I can remember
