"After the Revolution I was freed. I favoured the Constituent Assembly and am still for it"

Fanny Kaplan was a Russian revolutionary who fought for the rights of the working class. She belonged to the Socialist Revolutionary Party and was jailed and imprisoned for her activities. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, she was released and became a strong supporter of the Constituent Assembly, a legal body that was established to develop a brand-new constitution for the freshly formed Soviet Union. She thought that the Constituent Assembly was the very best way to ensure the rights of the working class and to create a more equitable society. She continued to support the Constituent Assembly even after it was dissolved in 1918. Her commitment to the cause of the working class and her dedication to the Constituent Assembly demonstrate her dedication to social justice and her belief in the power of the people to produce a much better society.
