 The so-cared Kronstadt republic sur rendered internationally to the provi- sional government. The peace agreement was signed by Anatole Lamanoff, presi- dent of the Kronstadt council of soldiers and workmen's delegates.
 The local committee of the worlSmen's and soldiers delegates at Kronstadt de- cided on June to assume control of the great fortress and to refuse recognition of the provisional government. The gov ernment officials were removed. The se- cessionists put forward a programme of splitting Russia up into a great number of self-governing communities and sent missionaries out to try to persuade neigh boring towns to join them The socialist ministers in the provisional cabinet, NJ Tseretelli and Skobeeff, went to kron- stadt from Petrograd and endeavored to persuade the seceders to abandon their plan.
