THE SECOND PERIOD:

The photo above includeds (Seated lt to rt) William Boyce Thompson the American millionarie and Head of the Russian Red Cross Mission who contributes a million dollars to the Social Rev. Party; Lazarev, Social Revoutionist; Katherine Breshkovskaya, "Grandmother of the Russian Rev." (Standing lt to rt) N.V. Chaikovski; Frederick Corse, head of Russian office of NYC Life Insurance Co.; Victor Soskice, Kerensky's personal sectretary; and Raymond Robins.
This second period covers Apr. 1917-Nov. 1917, the period of the Provisional Governments short stay and the historic record states clearly that Wilsonian diplomacy was in complete sympathy with the fall of the Romanoff’s and the rise of the Provisional Government. Wilsonian diplomacy outspoken support of the first Russian Revolution is clearly indicated by the fact that:
1. America was the first government to recognize the Provisional Government.
2. Wilson’ Declaration of War which included passages supporting the Russian Revolution.
3. Wilson’s $340,000,000 line of credit to Kerensky’s government.
There is also the independent American funding of the Social Revolutionary Party to the tune of $1,000,000 ($15,000,000 by today's standard) and this does not include Bullard's contributions as Sec. of the AFRP.
This nine month period starts to address the challenging thing about Wilsonian diplomacy in Russia that is not unlike the challenge that the Soviet's would have to face years later. The challenge is that Wilson could not control how his policy was administered by the men he had empowered. Wilson's policy was, even during this nine month period, "radicalized" in a way that concerned him, i.e. by Thompson’s million dollar contribution to the Social Revolutionary Party. At the same time, the historic record proves that Wilson’s concerns were not enough to make him back off his support of the first Revolution.
THE THIRD PERIOD:

The photo is of Bolshevik troops protecting the Smolny Institute, headquarters of the Boshevik government.
This is the period of Dec. 1918-June 1918. The overthrow of the Provisional government by the Bolsheviks is the most confusing and damaging period of all because of the mistakes Wilson made during these few short months. We will see how Wilsonian diplomacy in these critical months will make Britain and France openly suspicious of Wilson’s government as pro-Bolshevik because of:
1. The timing of Wilson’s statement, ‘the Russian people…call to us to say what it is that we desire, in what, if in anything, our purpose and our spirit differ from theirs…” in his “Fourteen Points” in Jan. 1918 two months after the Bolshevik take over.
2. Wilson’s refusal to join in the other Allied Governments censuring of the Bolshevik’s early moves to negotiate a separate peace with Germany.
3. Chief of the American Military Mission’s involvement with the Soviets just before and during the peace negotiation and publication in Pravda of the Chief’ letter supporting the peace negotiations.
4. Robbins and Gumberg’s close ties with the Soviets.
It is during this period that Wilson’s diplomatic policy will cause the most confusion and lend support to the Bolshevik government whether it intended to or not.
