| Message | The time of the Transitional Republic is a time of stability. It has only been three years since our popular government has disbanded the rule of the Tsar and began laying the foundation of a new, socialist republic. Already we see elements of the old, reactionary order attempt to sow disarray within our new nation. That is why, in the fullest extent of the law, I hereby declare the White Guard "party" a terrorist organization. I give full authority of both the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do whatever they see fit to ensure that these criminals are apprehended. Valentin Konstantinov Chairman of the National Transitional Council |
