2h 52min, jul 17, 1917 y - Alexander Kerensky becomes Prime Minister of Provisional Government
Description:
At the time when Kerensky became Prime Minister, there was a lot of revolutionary and political unrest in Petrograd, which Kerensky was swift to deal with and settle. He started pumping out anti-Bolshevik propaganda, arrested Bolshevik leaders and organizers, and exiled Lenin. Kerensky also re-instated the death penalty in the military. In October of 1917 Kerensky tried to stop an uprising by raiding Bolshevik buildings and destroying their printing presses. This only made things worse, as on October 26, Kerensky barely made it out of the Winter Palace before it was stormed by the Bolshevik's Red Guards.
