[3] In parallel on 19 April 1918, the Council of People's Commissars approved a decree on the establishment of the All-Russian Evacuation Commission, with Bezel being appointed extraordinary commissioner.
However at a subsequent meeting on 23 April 1918, the Council of People's Commissars voted in favour of a proposal of Vladimir Lenin to appoint Miron Vladimirov [it] as the commissioner instead of Bezel.
[4][7] After the failed Left-Socialist Revolutionary uprising of 6–7 July 1918, Bezel was active in the dissident group led by Kolegaev.
[3] In 1919, Bezel was part of the effort to unite the Party of Revolutionary Communism with other populist factions, on a platform of support to soviet power.
