@Dopcol, thanks for adding the source. I think that it actually strengthens my position that labelling the uprising as "Bolshevik" is a. violation of POV. Your source describes the 1918 events as a peasant uprising driven by the concerns regarding land reform. It explicitly says that Bolshevism was absent from SO in the first months of 1918. It also says that Ossetian Bolsheviks in Tbilisi themselves admitted they had no influence in the region. It's true that subsequently Bolsheviks achieved greater influence but if we use a label it should be true for all the uprisings. I think that there are two options 1) "peasant uprisings" - supported by your source, and 2) no label, just "uprisings". Alaexis_¿question? 11:00, 17 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Actually, the source says Bolshevism was absent from "South Ossetia" (which did not even exist during this time so the term is an anachronism) in first months after February Revolution, in 1917. It says "Ossetian Bolsheviks based in Tbilisi admitted themselves that they exerted no influence on the South Ossetian peasantry throughout 1917". This is before the uprising, which began in March 1918. The quote explicitly states that by february 1918 "the revolutionary movement in South Ossetia attracted a number of Bolshevik activists, and in March 1918 the movement became an armed uprising against Tbilisi's authority".

It is true that the uprising was motivated by land reform. However, it was a Bolshevik uprising, because: 1) it was led and started by Bolsheviks. 2) The rebels declared establishment of Soviet power. 3) Other political faction, Ossetian Social Democrats, did not support or participate in an uprising.

What you are saying it is like saying "October Revolution was not Bolshevik, it was a peasant uprising driven by the concerns regarding land reform". Well, it very well might have been a peasent uprising driven by the concerns regarding land reform, but this does not cancels out that the uprising was a Bolshevik one, because it was organized by Bolsheviks and they formed a Bolshevik government after it, right? The motivations of the uprisings can vary, but their character is defined by participation and methods (like declaration of Soviet power). Dopcol (talk) 05:58, 18 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
