The Provisional Government led Kerensky became unpopular in Russia due to the inâuence exercised by
industrialists and landowners in its functioning. Initially the Bolsheviks supported the government.
However, discontent grew and the Provisional government took strict action to control rising discontent.
Factory committees and trade unions were formed along with soldiers' committees. Leaders of workers
were arrested by the government and popular demonstration by Bolsheviks in 1917 was repressed. There
were also fears that the government could set up a dictatorship. All these factors led to the unpopularity of
the government and contributed towards the October Revolution in 1917.

A number of reasons, but the overwhelming one was that they continued the war with Germany.
Soldiers returning from the fronts brought such reports of military incompetence and huge and unnecessary death tolls that people were determined to stop the fighting. There had already been 1.6 million military casualties.
Both the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks campaigned on a promise of Peace - almost whatever the conditions. They won.
