Provisional Russian Government (15 mars 1917 – 7 nov 1917)

Description:

The Provisional Government was the formally constituted authority in Russia, with responsibility for the conduct of the war between February and October 1917. It sought to restore law and order and reconstitute administration across the empire, while introducing major political reforms and continuing to prosecute the war on the Eastern Front. Successive crises beset the Provisional Government in 1917, the government had been undermined by many factors, including the system of "dual power" whereby the Soviet possessed the only real authority over workers and soldiers, and the deepening radicalization of the population. Economic and social dislocations caused by continued participation in the war were a major contributor to radicalization, and commitment to the war effort irrevocably tainted the government in the eyes of many. The government finally came to an end when bolsheviks took over the winter palace and instilled a communist government.
