Who are you in 1917 Russia?

Based on the Arzamas Academy quiz that has since stopped working, this quiz analyzes your political views and which faction you would align with during the February and October Revolutions in Russia.

Are you a hardcore Bolshevik? Maybe you're a more moderate Menshevik --- or maybe you're on the other side of the aisle completely as a Conservative Monarchist or even a Black Hundredist.

The year is 1917, and the House of Romanov has fallen to the republican Provisional Government. What was your reaction to this event?
- I welcomed it. Monarchy has no place in modern Russia.
- It didn't go far enough! We cannot rest until we have a truly equal society.
- I was against it. The monarchy, albeit flawed, was a unifying symbol for all Russians.
- I was appalled. The monarchy should be restored!
- This is outrageous. The monarchy should be restored and those perfidious revolutionaries should be arrested --- or worse.
The Provisional Government has begun to assemble into a true government for Russia. How should this new government organize itself?
- The new government should be based on a democratic republic similar to that of France or America. It is time to go into the modern era.
- The new government should be tossed out and the monarchy restored.
- New government? Pah! It's nothing but an illegitimate coup!
- The new government should be based on a union of worker's councils and led by a socialist vanguard. It's time to deal a decisive blow.
- The new government shouldn't be a government at all. It should be a voluntary system of association.
Radical Russian leftists have begun to gather around the flamboyant revolutionary Vladimir Ulyanov, better known as Lenin, who recently returned from exile in Switzerland. What's your opinion on Lenin?
- I don't think he's dangerous, per se, but an eye should be kept on him in case he tries anything.
- He shouldn't be allowed into the political sphere, but he shouldn't be arrested. He's too influential.
- He should be arrested for inciting violence. The communists he organizes are incredibly dangerous.
- I'd prefer it if he died on the train ride over.
- The heroic revolutionary returns! Viva Lenin! Peace, land, and bread!
- While I disagree with him, I find it hard to shy away from the fervor around him because of my political beliefs.
- Oh, joy. Another statist thug.
The nascent Black Hundredist movement, once popular around Russia after the 1905 Revolution, have finally been abolished. The Black Hundred was defined by its nationalism, Russian supremacy, and hardcore religious devotion. What's your opinion on their abolition?
- Well deserved. It should've happened decades ago.
- Well deserved, but its members should be arrested and face trial for disrupting the peace.
- Finally! Took them long enough.
- Those who oppose the Black Hundred are traitors to the Russian people!
- I hate them, but I defend their rights to say what they wish.
- They had some good points, even if they were a bit extreme. Unfortunate.
Breaking news from Petrograd! General Lavr Kornilov has attempted to march on the capital and overthrow the Provisional Government. This failed, primarily because of the actions of the Petrograd Soviet, but many supported him as he attempted to install himself as dictator. What are your opinions on this?
- Once again, the people have to take measures into their own hands to defend themselves. Shameful, is what it is.
- A major setback, both in public opinion and public order. Hopefully the Republic can recover from this.
- A shame he didn't succeed!
- He is the true leader of Russia, and the Petrograd Soviet should be liquidated for opposing him!
One of the biggest questions the new Republic has to face is what to do with the former monarch. What should be done about Nicholas II and his family?
- Exile them. Imprisonment is a bit too far, and murder is reprehensible.
- Arrest them! They've committed crimes against the Russian people that shall not go unanswered.
- Reinstate them! Tsar Nikolai is the legitimate leader of Russia!
- Eh. Who cares now? They're old news.
Despite promises for peace, the Great War still goes on against Germany. The nascent leader of the Republic, Alexander Kerensky, has recently launched a disastrous offensive against the Germans. What's your response to this development!
- We should've never gotten entangled in this mess! Now look at us! Get us out of this war --- now!
- Oh, jeez, Kerensky! You're ruining our image here. We need to maintain the war path, but not waste men in the meatgrinder!
- The Kerensky Offensive was flawed, but the war must be continued.
The primarily Bolshevik-dominated Petrograd Soviet, alongside soviets (elected worker's councils) across the nation, continues to grow in strength and influence. Should they be stopped?
- Before communism overtakes Russia? Absolutely.
- As much as we may loathe it, they're a part of our democracy as well. We must allow them a voice.
- Who cares? They're all the same in the end.
- They should be liquidated and their members arrested!
- They should be given even more power! All Power to the Soviets!
Attempts at diplomacy have failed. The Republic is descending into violence and disorder. The Bolsheviks and Left Social Revolutionaries have taken to the streets while the Russian army and Republican forces begin to mount a defense. Who will you side with in the upcoming Civil War?
- The Reds. Communism is the way forward for Russia, and we must fight for it lest it get smothered in the cradle.
- The Whites. The Bolsheviks must be opposed wherever they rear their ugly head for the good of mankind.
- The Blacks. Anarchism is an unstoppable wave, and the only way humanity can survive in the modern era.
Finally --- out of the 10 possible results, which one do you agree the most with?
- The Bolsheviks.
- The Mensheviks.
- The Left Social Revolutionaries.
- The Right Social Revolutionaries.
- The Social Democrats and Apolitical Provisionalists.
- The Kadets.
- The Anarchists.
- The Conservative Monarchists and Black Hundrists.
