The Petrograd formula was a Peace Formula constructed by the Bolshevik party after their Revolution in November 1917. The Bolsheviks did not want Russia to participate in the first World War. After the interception of the Miliukov note, the Petrograd Soviet issued the Petrograd Formula in May declaring "peace without annexations or indemnities, on the basis of the self-determination of peoples".
Famous quotes containing the word formula:
“Hidden away amongst Aschenbach’s writing was a passage directly asserting that nearly all the great things that exist owe their existence to a defiant despite: it is despite grief and anguish, despite poverty, loneliness, bodily weakness, vice and passion and a thousand inhibitions, that they have come into being at all. But this was more than an observation, it was an experience, it was positively the formula of his life and his fame, the key to his work.”
—Thomas Mann (18751955)
