Answer-~The soviet government

formist program consists generally OF
many points In detail.
Our revolutionary program con-
sisted, generally speaking, of one
point--overthrow of the land owners
and capitalists yoke, Wrestling the
powers from them and liberating the
working masses from their exploiters.
This program we have never al
