Belarusian Socialist Assembly
- Belarusian Socialist Assembly
The Belarusian Socialist Assembly, BSA (Belarusian Socialist Hramada, BSH) was a revolutionary party in the Belarusian territory of the Russian Empire. It was established in 1902 as the Belarusian Revolutionary Party, renamed in 1903.["Belarus: A Denationalized Nation", by David R. Marples (1999) ISBN 9057023431, p. 3, 4.] ]The BSA had branches in Minsk, Vilna, and also in St. Petersburg. After the February Revolution in Russia, the political activity of Belarusians increased, and in summer of 1917 BSA gave rise to the Belarusian Communist Party and the Belarusian Social Democratic Party. After the Polish-Soviet War, many Belarusian activists of the BSA have found theselves in Poland, which acquired the Western Belarus, and they struggled for the Belarusian autonomy. Vladimir Lenin described BSA as "nationalist petty bourgeois party of left populist orientation". [Jan Zaprudnik, "Belarus: At a Crossroads" (1993, ISBN 0-8133-1794-0), p. 79]
On March 19, 1918 on the initiative of the BSA, the "rada" of the Belarusian National Republic has become a temporary, short-lived parliament in Belarusian lands. Most of the BNR "rada" were the members of the BSA. The 2nd Congress of the Soviets of the Western Province (Russia) declared the "rada" counter-revolutionary and anti-Soviet.References
