Answer 1

Explanation:

Provisional Government, Russian Vremennoye pravitel’stvo Rossii, internationally recognized government of Russia from February to October (March to November, New Style) 1917. It was formed by the Duma after the collapse of the Romanov dynasty and was initially composed entirely of liberal ministers, with the exception of Aleksandr F. Kerensky of the Socialist Revolutionary Party. The Provisional Government was reorganized twice over its eight-month existence, each time as a coalition of several political parties. At no point, however, was it able to adequately address the major problems afflicting the country, and it was swept from power in a bloodless coup by the Bolsheviks in the second phase of theCreation Of The Provisional GovernmentThe Duma, which had been prorogued, refused to disperse, and on March 1 (March 14) it formed a government, headed by Georgy Yevgenyevich, Prince Lvov, and mainly composed of leaders of the Kadet and Octobrist parties. On the next day a deputation visited Nicholas II at his headquarters in Pskov and accepted his abdication on behalf of himself and his son, Alexis. When his brother Grand Duke Michael refused the throne, the Romanov dynasty came to an end. The demise of the empire saw the emergence of two separate authorities, both claiming to speak for the people but neither representing more than a section of it: the Provisional Government and the Petrograd Soviet of Workers’ and Soldiers’ Deputies.

Answer 2

The main problem of the Provisional Government was that it tried to continue the war. In June 1917, it organised an attack on Austria. When the attack failed, people began to turn against the government. Instead, they started to follow Lenin whose welcome message was: 'Peace, bread, land'.
