1926 Soviet Elections (World Revolution)

The Soviet Elections of 1926 were held in the shadow of Lenin's Assassination after 2 years of rule and the subsequent fracturing of the Russian Communist Party into five parts (from rightist to leftist): The Chekist Party (advocate of state repression of counterrevolutionaries and continuation of the cheka), The National Bolshevik Party (supporters of Stalin, the NEP and Socialism in One Country), the Leninist Bolshevik Party (supporters of Trotsky, rapid industrialization, permanent revolution, and internationalism), the Democratic Centralists ("pure" anti-bureaucratic leninists), and the Worker's Opposition (supporters of Shlyapnikov, trade unions, and libertarian communism). Lenin's assassination won surging popular support for Bolshevism, which would become the ruling ideology of Russia until the 1980s.
