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. The Bolsheviks were involved in a domestic revolution in Russia, not directly violating U.S. laws. Therefore, while their actions might have been seen as subversive or radical from a U.S. perspective, they did not violate the Sedition Act itself.
The Sedition Act of 1918 forbade individuals from making false statements that could harm the military efforts of the United States during World War I, as well as any speech or expression that criticized the government, the flag, or the armed forces. It aimed to suppress dissent and prevent anti-war sentiments. Violators faced heavy fines and imprisonment. The act was part of a broader effort to maintain national unity and suppress opposition during the war.
