Romanian Front electoral district (Russian Constituent Assembly election, 1917)
Constituency of the Russian Republic
The Romanian Front electoral district (Russian: избирательный округ Румынского фронта) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Romanian Front of the Russian Army.[1] Moreover, the constituency covered the Danube Flotilla.[1]
Unlike the Western Front, the Romanian Front was remote from events in the mother country and relatively untouched by Bolshevik agitation for immediate peace.[2] As of the spring of 1917, the soldiers' organizations of the Romanian Front were dominated by officers, who repressed revolutionary soldier organizers.[3]
According to U.S. historian Oliver Henry Radkey some 12,000-15,000 votes appeared to be missing from official records.[4]
