Looks like I got the Black Hundreds, cool quiz
Purgatio is an absolutist hereditary monarchy run as a one-party fascist dictatorship, which seized power in a sudden and abrupt coup d'état of 1987-1988, on an authoritarian eugenic and socially Darwinistic political philosophy and ideology, now ruled and dominated with a brutal iron fist under the watchful reign of Le Grand Roi Chalon-Arlay de la Fayette and La Grande Reine Geneviève de la Fayette (née Aumont) (i.e., the 'Founding Couple' or Le Couple Fondateur).

For a domestic Purgation 'propagandist' view of its role in the world, see: An Introduction to Purgatio.

And for a more 'objective' international perspective on Purgatio's history, culture, and politics, see: A Brief Overview of the History, Politics, and Culture of Le Royaume du Nettoyage de la Purgatio.

Thankfully I am far away from the political factions of 1917 Russia according to the survey. I would have supported the Central Powers anyways, especially Germany and Austria-Hungary.

Menshevik Internationalists

The Menshevik Internationalist fraction, led by Yuli Martov and Yuri Larin, was closer to the Bolsheviks than anyone else. From August, Larin associated completely with the RSDLP(b) (Bolshevik Party). The Internationalists spoke out in favor of a swift, democratic peace without annexation or levies; immediate convocation of the Constituent Assembly; the formation of a ‘uniform, socialist government,’ including even the Bolsheviks. After the events of July 3-5, 1917, they came out against the persecution of the Bolsheviks. At the RSDLP party congress in December (see Menshevik Defensists) they received the majority of leadership positions.
------------------------

Hm. In fact, if I did not know the future and lived in that period, I would have joined the Bolsheviks, very confidently and unequivocally.
But I answered the test, knowing all the following, namely, that for some Bolshevik measures the economic conditions and prerequisites had not yet ripened. Therefore, the result came out more moderate.

Apparently, I would have been a Menshevik-Internationalist, which (as I've no idea what that is) according to the somewhat-knowing Wiki was "a faction inside the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Mensheviks)", representing the left-wing, anti-war standpoint.

I would probably have started out as a Constitutional Democrat (Cadet), before moving to the right and taking a more reactionary position following the tsar's abdication given that my loyalty to my sovereign would have taken priority over anything else.

Centrist SR

The platform of the Socialist-Revolutionary (SR) Party included a demand for the nationalization of land, which gave them majority support from among the peasants. However the final resolution of the agrarian question they put off until the Constituent Assembly. The SRs were the only party that spoke out for a federal structure for Russia. On the question of the war, this party supported ‘revolutionary defense.’ Immediately after the February Revolution, the SRs were the most popular party; they dominated in the Soviets of Peasant Deputies and, together with the Mensheviks, they also were in the majority in the Soviets of Worker and Soldier Deputies. The ranks of the SRs included about a million ‘March SRs,’ who had no relationship with the party prior to the February Revolution, which significantly weakened their position. Several members of the party joined the first coalition Provisional Government. Viktor Chernov was the recognized leader of the Center SRs. The SR party received 51.7 percent of the votes to the Constituent Assembly, 17 percent in the capital.

While that's true, I think the test focuses on ideology rather than actual practice. Even though the Bolshies were tyrants, they supported "all power to the Soviets".
