Results
editThe account of American historian Oliver Henry Radkey (displayed in the table below) only includes full result for three lists (Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, Orthodox), albeit the number of votes for the Orthodox list has been rounded off. The real vote of the other nine lists, according to Radkey, would have been more than double what is accounted for.[6]
