MILITARY REVOLUTIONARY COMMITTEE. BULLETIN NO. 2
November 12th, in the evening, Kerensky sent a proposition to the revolutionary troops—“to lay down their arms.” Kerensky’s men opened artillery fire. Our artillery answered and compelled the enemy to be silent. The Cossacks assumed the offensive. The deadly fire of the sailors, the Red Guards and the soldiers forced the Cossacks to retreat.

Tsarskoye Selo has been taken by the revolutionary troops.
