Ewa Bérard, Why did the Bolsheviks leave Petrograd?
The departure of the Bolsheviks from Petrograd on March 10, 1918 and the transfer of the capital to Moscow marked the end of a two-hundred-year long "Petersburg era" of Russian history. Was this transfer that took place immediately after the signature of the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty, really dictated (as it was claimed) solely by the German military danger? The present article - supported by documents - promotes the thesis according to which this move had been decided earlier, after the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly, and was necessitated by the explosive situation in the city. Equally essential was the symbolic effect of the desertion of the "anti-national" Petrograd and of the rehabilitation of the old capital, on anti-revolutionary opinion: once they were established in the Kremlin, the Bolsheviks were endowed by their adversaries with the legitimacy of new assemblers of Russian lands.
