Tsar nicholas the second was forced to abdicate on 2-3rd march 1917. This was because he was a bad leader. He couldn't look after Russia and so has to abdicate. He and his family were killed the following year in summer. This was to prevent any tsaes returning. Anyways , to the point , after the Tsar went , there was no government to look after Russia. So a temporary government was formed. This government was known as the Provisional Government. It was built up of the Petrograd soviet and the old committee ( the 1905 Duma ).
