In 1918, the Russian radicals, particularly the Bolsheviks, were not subject to the U.S. Sedition Act, which was enacted in 1918 to suppress dissent against the U.S. government during World War I. The act primarily targeted American citizens and residents, focusing on speech and actions that criticized the U.S. government or military.
