Mensheviks Take Over the Government... (mar 1, 1917 – nov 1, 1917)

Description:

Led by Alexander Kerensy, the Mensheviks overthrow the existing government, keeping the Duma while setting up a Soviet system. Their fatal mistake, however, was opting to stay in World War I. By doing this, as well as Lenin's return to Russia, they provided the catalyst for another, Bolshevik, revolution.
