The Russian Provisional Government ruled briefly from March to November 1917 after Tsar Nicholas II's abdication. It struggled with legitimacy, lacking military support and facing severe crises, including Russia's involvement in World War I. Economic turmoil, rising inflation, and social unrest with strikes and revolts undermined its authority. The Provisional Government was eventually displaced by the Bolsheviks, who promised to better represent the interests of workers and peasants, withdraw from the war, and conduct democratic elections for a new Constituent Assembly.
