The result was a clear victory for the Socialist Revolutionary Party (SRs) who polled far more votes than the Bolsheviks . However, the Bolsheviks had captured power in the October Revolution and they dispersed the Assembly after its first sitting - making the results of the election null and void. Various academic studies have given alternative results but all clearly indicate that whilst the Bolsheviks were clear winners in Russia's urban centres, as well as taking around two-thirds of the votes of soldiers on the "Western Front", it was the SRs who topped the polls having won the massive support of the country's rural peasantry. ''Radkey study results'': ''Note: The figures for Socialist Revolutionaries includes the Ukrainian Socialist Revolutionaries; whilst the Kadets includes other "rightists" as well; and the total number of deputies returned for "Others" includes 39 Left Socialist Revolutionaries and 4 Popular Socialists, as well as 77 others from various localised groupings.''
