Constitutionalist Student Association

Factions

Kadety

Comprised of former members of the right wing of the Constitutional Democratic Party of the old Empire, the Kadety endorse a paternalistic liberal-conservative state, internal improvements, and reformist politics. The Kadety are also well-known as the most ardent defenders of the rights of minorities, and as such have a substantial, and very loyal voter base among Alaska's Jews and Native Alaskans.

Oktobristy

The Octobrists are named not for the Red October, but rather, for what they have dubbed the "White October", the October Revolution of 1905 that secured the introduction of constitutionalism and the Duma to Russia. They are generally descended from the party of the same name, though they have also attracted some other conservatives. More conservative than the Kadety, they tend to favor a less secular and more Russocentric political orientation, as well as being more cautious towards liberalization and reform. They are a competitor to the VSP (U) for the vote of many Russian conservatives, with much of their support coming from businessmen, the gentry, and urban conservatives.
