The Provisional Government was set up after the February Revolution in 1917 when the czar was forced to abdicate. It was meant to rule Russia until a permanent government could be organized. Of course, they fixed none of things that made the population rebel in the first place and were overthrown in the October or Bolshevik Revolution.

Historically, the two revolutions are referred to as the February Revolution and the October Revolution because they occurred in Russia and those were the months in which they occurred there. Academically, events that occurred within Russia under the old calendar are dated according to the calendar in place in Russia at that time, but given the explanation "Old Style". After an old style date was written there would be the date for the rest of the world with the words "New Style." Thus:

"Within Russia, the Bolshevik Revolution started on October 25, 1917 (Old Style, November 7, 1917 New Style)."
