Polish Socialist Party – Revolutionary Faction
The Polish Socialist Party – Revolutionary Faction ( pl, Polska Partia Socjalistyczna – Frakcja Rewolucyjna, PPS–FR) also known as the Old Faction ( pl, Starzy, links=no) was one of two factions into which the Polish Socialist Party split in 1906. The Revolutionary Faction's primary goal was to restore an independent Poland, which was envisioned as a representative democracy. Its opposition was the Polish Socialist Party – the Left (also known as ''PPS–L'' or the Young Faction), which believed that Poland should be a socialist country, established through proletarian revolution, and likely a part of some larger international communist country. With the failure of revolution in the Kingdom of Poland (1905-1907) PPS–L lost popularity, and PPS–FR regained dominance. In 1909 PPS–FR renamed itself back to ''Polska Partia Socjalistyczna'' (Polish Socialist Party); the increasingly marginal PPS–L merged with Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania ...

Bezdany Raid
Bezdany raid was a train robbery carried out on the night of 26/27 September 1908 in the vicinity of Bezdany (since 1946 Bezdonys) near Vilna on a Russian Empire passenger and mail train by a group of the Combat Organization of the Polish Socialist Party led by Józef Piłsudski. Background Piłsudski expected that only a conflict between partitions of Poland, the powers who partitioned Poland in the late 18th century could restore Poland as a country; he also viewed the Russian Empire as the worst of Poland's occupiers. Therefore, he decided to temporarily support the Central Powers (the Austria-Hungary, Austro-Hungarian and German Empires). In 1906 Piłsudski, with the knowledge and support of the Austrian authorities, founded a military school in Kraków for the training of ''Bojówki'' (Combat Teams), a military arm of the Polish Socialist Party (or, specifically, its Revolutionary Fraction).
