I'd love a translation, Cyrillic cursive is hard to read.
On the left it says something like "Soviet authority will only last two weeks!" and then on the right it says "15 YEARS - the USSR is finally established on the path to socialism"
It isn't really cursive Cyrillic so much as just italic Cyrillic. I struggled with reading italics for a good while too, but eventually you get the hang of it.
Edit: Oh and the heads on the left are labeled "monarchist", "cadet", "eser", and "menshevik".
Ahhh, yes the mensheviks. The majority which name was the russian word for minority
At the moment of separation of RSDRP mensheviks were in fact a minority of the party. And intersting enough, it's not the given name, that's what they named their faction after bolsheviks came up with their name.
