Issues Facing the Administration
1. Formation of a Government (immediate)
The Administration has to decide on the best political course to proceed. President Chernov has the backing of his Social Revolutionary Party and the Mensheviks which will allow him to govern with relative ease. Still, a compromise with the liberal Constitutional Democrats would broaden the support for the government at a time of crisis while an alliance with the radical socialists would greatly expedite the implementation of radical socialist reforms.
2. Administrative Reform (urgent)
The Government has very little control over areas of the country outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg and decisions of the Government often either can’t be implemented or are ignored. The Government can grant official recognition to Workers’ and Soldiers’ Soviets giving them the power of implementing Government decisions at the local level, but the Soviets are not democratically chosen and are not directly accountable to anyone, and have been a hotbed of radical socialism since their establishment. It is also possible to re-institute the Zemstva system of local elected councils and delegate authority for implementing Government decisions to them, but the socialists argue that elections can easily be swayed by money and lies, giving an undeserved edge to the local elites who are mostly conservative. Finally, the Government can begin to hire and train professional bureaucrats both in the Capital and elsewhere and begin to put a professional bureaucracy in place that will in the future quickly and efficiently implement Government decisions but will take some time to set up.
3. Location of the Capital (noncritical)
The previous Government never officially changed the Russian Capital from St. Petersburg even as it governed from Moscow. Keeping the Capital in Moscow, even without an official change, will solidify the status of the city as the Capital of Russia, while moving the Government back to St. Petersburg will make it clear that it remains the official Capital of Russia.
