[edit] The first Soviet
According to the Soviet hagiography, the first was Ivanovo Soviet in Ivanovo-Voznesensk. What exactly was Voline's Sovet? References? mikka (t) 08:53, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] No! Voline meant the first workers' soviet, not the first soviet
Please see Soviet (disambiguation) article for a lot of information about the uses and meanings of this Russian abstract noun meaning 'advice'. Even as a concrete noun denoting an organised body, its usage dates back at least as far as the (Tsarist) 'State Soviet', which existed from as early as 1810. This is not a typo - I mean EIGHTEEN TEN. More information at: A Note on the Use of the Word 'Soviet 158-152-12-77 01:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- Ivanovo Soviet was also workers' soviet.--Nixer 20:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rewriting needed
The final paragraph currently says "Based on the view of the state implicit in the Bolshevik use of the term, the word "soviet" naturally extended, or consciously was extended, to mean in effect any body formed by a group of soviets to delegate, up a hierarchy of soviets, the authority to express and effect their will." This sentence doesn't make any sense, I don't know if it is missing clauses or what. I hesitate to edit it it, since I don't know with certainty what it is trying to say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nmerriam (talk • contribs) 05:59, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
