New system was unstable, in the 1924 General Tukhachevsky had to suppress the Bolshevik uprising in Petrograd, and in 1926 to fight with Japanese in Buryatia. In 1928, due to the fact that farmers overestimate the price of corn, in the cities begin famine. President Chernov resigned, came to power the nationalist Right SR Boris Savinkov. All parties except the Right Socialist-Revolutionaries, are prohibited.
