The "Provisional Government" replaced Tsarist rule after the February 1917 Russian Revolution. This governmental body claimed it had the only legitimate authority in Russia once the Tsar abdicated, because many of its members had been members of the Duma, the Russian form of Parliament under the Tsar. The Provisional Government proved to be as useless and unpopular as the Tsar it had replaced and was itself removed by Lenin and his Bolsheviks several months later in the October Revolution of 1917. The Bolsheviks were not much better at governing, but they were better at maintaining power by the use of force and terror.
