Také vedoucí organizace v Rusku se ovšem snaží podpořit podle svých sil přímé oběti boje. Tak byly na příklad po týdny podporovány statečné oběti obrovské výluky v Petrohradě v důsledku kampaně za osmihodinový pracovní den.
All of these questions are ‘regulated’ by the revolution bringing such enormous popular masses on to the stage that any calculation and regulation of the costs of their movement drawn up in advance, like the costs of a civil trial, appears as a completely hopeless task. Certainly, the leadership organisations in Russia do seek to support the direct victims of the struggle as well as they can. Thus, for example, the valiant victims of the giant lockout in Petersburg as a result of the 8-hour campaign were supported for weeks.
