He promised the people land, shelter, and bread. Because most Russian citizens were peasants at the time. This was done by the April Theses where he mentioned " All power to the Soviets" & "peace, Bread and land". He also promised to take Russia out of World War 1. The war had pushed Russia to the limit - and beyond, therefore this made Social, economic conditions inside the country hard. Also the Political system was not well received from the Russian people. They beleived that the Tsarist system just brought catastrophe to the Country.

No, Alexander Kerensky was not successful. Kerensky and the Russian Provisional Government which he headed were overthrown by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks in the October Revolution of 1917. Kerensky had failed to get Russia out of World War 1, failed to put an end to shortages of economic goods and failed to institute meaningful land reforms. All of these desires of the Russian people are what led to the February Revolution, the overthrow of the Czar and the creation of the Provisional Government in the first place. The main reason the Bolsheviks so easily seized control of the government from Kerensky was that he no longer had the support of the workers, soldiers or peasants of the country or of the various political parties that were trying to create a new permanent government. It has also been said that Kerensky had been undermined by various extreme socialist groups such as the Bolsheviks.
