Soviets had always been a fixture in Russia that settled neighborly disputes and other things too small for the government to bother with. They gained real power when the czar was dethroned in the March Revolution. The soviets only became socialist in the 1800s and even then, not all soviets were made up of communists and not all the ones that had socialists were entirely socialist.
