I strongly suspect that Reed had a Russian translate for him from Russian documents and that translator did not write English well. I am not aware that Reed knew Russian. I think that it means that a close vote by the soldiers' group did not represent the majority opinion of soldiers, in part because soldiers who were Bolsheviks did not participate and because there were many officers in the soldier's group. But I am not sure. | |
