I'm really keen to develop an idea about a third main political strand in revolutionary Russia between the Bolsheviks and the conservative Kadets/counter-revolutionaries, can anyone shed some light as to whether this is at all viable?

I'm envisaging an alliance of some of the groups caught in the middle of the early stages of the Civil War, with a fusion between some of the elements that made up the Black Hundred groups along with the anti-Bolshevik Socialist Revolutionaries.

The result would be a Proto-Fascist (before Fascism itself was developed :rolleyes:) peasant based movement promising widespread land reform, Corporatist style economic policies (based on the communes/soviets) alongside a heavy focus on the Russian Orthodox faith.

I know I'm tracking backwards from the end product here, but can anyone see this being possible? Would it appeal to the Russian people and offer a real social/political alternative to Bolshevism?
