The '''Third Russian Revolution''' (also called the '''Russian Revolution of 1918''', or the '''July Revolution 1918''') is a term describing a series of [[rebellion]]s and [[uprising]]s against both the [[Bolshevik]]s and the [[White movement]]. The uprisings started on [[6 July]] [[1918]] and were most prominent for the remainder of that month, but continued up to [[30 December]] [[1922]].

A part of it was rebellion of [[Left Eser]]s in [[Moscow]], known as '''Left Eser Uprising''' ('''Left SR Uprising''') in Soviet historiography.

The rebellions broke out during the [[Fifth All-Russia Congress of Soviets]], at which the anti-Soviet speeches of [[Anarchists]] and the [[Left Socialist-Revolutionaries]] received no support from the overwhelming majority of [[delegate]]s. Defeated at the Congress, the Anarchists and Left S.R.s pursued their aim of sabotaging the [[Treaty of Brest-Litovsk]] and dragging [[Bolshevist Russia|Soviet Russia]] into war with [[Germany]] by assassinating the German [[Ambassador]] in [[Moscow]], [[Count]] [[Wilhelm Mirbach|Wilhelm von Mirbach]], on [[July 6]] [[1918]]. This was followed by the revolution.

The main rebel force was a [[Detachment (military)|detachment]] commanded by [[Dmitry Ivanovich Popov]], a Left S.R. and member of the [[Cheka]]. About 1,800 revolutionaries took part in the [[insurrection]], [[bomb]]arding the [[Kremlin]] with [[artillery]] and seizing the [[telephone]] exchange and [[Telegraphy|telegraph]] office. During the two days that they remained in [[control]] there, they sent out several [[manifesto]]s, [[bulletin]]s and [[telegram]]s in the name of the Left S.R. Central Committee declaring that the Left S.R.s had taken over [[power (sociology)|power]] and that their action had been welcomed by the whole [[nation|people]]. The Fifth Congress of Soviets instructed the [[government]] to suppress the [[insurrection]] at once, and the group of Left S.R.s at the Congress was [[arrest]]ed.

The Anarchists and Left S.R.s also started insurrections in [[Petrograd]], [[Vologda]], [[Arzamas]], [[Murom]], [[Yaroslavl]], [[Velikiy Ustyug]], [[Rybinsk]] and other [[city|cities]]. A telegram from the Left S. R. Central Committee stating that the Left S.R.s had seized power in Moscow, was sent to [[M. A. Muravyov]], a Left S.R. and [[Commander]] of the [[Eastern Front (World War I)|Eastern Front]]. On the pretext of attacking the Germans, he seized [[Simbirsk]] (later Ulyanovsk) and march his forces on Moscow in support of the revolutionaries.
