<em><u>The Bolshevik government passed a plethora of legislation in the immediate aftermath of the October/November Revolution. The Bolsheviks had no experience of government and there was little guarantee that the Bolsheviks would have maintained power for any length of time. Kerensky was attempting to bring down the Bolshevik government while the Military Cadets attempted an uprising on October 29th and this was further compounded for Lenin and Trotsky when the civil service went on strike in protest at the revolution. However, despite this apparent chaos, the leaders of the Bolshevik Party managed to meet for six hours every day for two months in the relatively safety of the Smolny Institute. In this time they introduced 193 new laws that were to have a major change on Russian society once they were implemented.</u></em>
The Song Dynasty was so large and that was a factor in the empire's decline. They created so many positions within the bureaucracy and the men in those positions received a generous amount of money.
