The Vikzhel negotiations were ultimately unsuccessful talks among Russian socialist parties, imposed by the All-Russian Executive Committee of the Railway Union (Vikzhel) with the aim of replacing the Sovnarkom, an exclusively Bolshevik government newly formed during the October Revolution, with a coalition of socialist forces. Following the Bolshevik seizure of power during the October Revolution, their socialist political opponents resorted to arms.
