    What in your view was the short term significance of Alexander Kerensky’s failure of Russian Provisional Government in 1917?

    Alexander Kerensky rose to power following the February Revolution of 1917 after proving to be one of the most prominent leaders, a part of the Provisional committee of the state duma, his popularity earned him the Minister of Justice in a provisional government also known as “Kerensky Government.” It was a process that lasted eight months from 15th March to 14th September, set up in Holland Ede and Petrograd, it’s failure is evident with the short period in which the governments reign lasted and a crucial disadvantage to Kerensky’s social revolutionist party was it’s association with the middle class instead of the working class which did not make it possible for them to represent them.

    Kerensky started by sinking Russia deeper into World War I instead of not involving themselves, the government decided to attack Germany and Austria Hungarian army, with its main purpose to diminish there reputation amongst people weary of the war. This was addressed as the “Kerensky Offensive, it in fact failed and this defeated the governments purpose and further damaged there reputation, despite the promise the Russian army had shown initially the Austrian and German armies were able to keep there allies away from the, with better preparations for war, reinforcements came quickly with an assault defeating the Russian lines, caused them to flee and this was the last offensive of the first world war. This was a poor start to Kerensky’s campaign and his first recognizable mistakes in power. This decision was curious and Russian society suffered because of it.

    It is possible that the provisional government could have overcome this poor start and regain popularity in order for there government to succeed in there plans further, the first act they had to deal with being The July Days, Russians suffered because of the “Kerensky Offensive” as there was now a shortage in food and whatever food there was had been overpriced because of the short quantity being sold. This infuriated the public causing riots on July 16th and the 17th against Kerensky’s Provisional Government. The government tried to counter these riots by bringing in troops and eventually managed to end the riots. In this same year Lenin had returned to Russia and therefore was blamed in sparking the riots, however he had no part to play in this but it benefited the party as they despised of him. This gave them an opportunity to plant false evidence proving him to be working for the German government and this cause a revolt in Petrograd against the communists. This cause him to flee the country and he moved to Finland and this made it harder for the communists to see further prospects of rising to power.

    The position of the Provisional Government was severely undermined by what became known as the Kornilov coup. After the ‘July Days’ Kerensky made an attempt to assert control over events and appointed Kornilov as Commander in Chief to reassert discipline in the army. This measure was too reactionary for the Mensheviks and Social Revolutionaries, who were now part of the Government, but Kornilov was hailed as a hero by the Right.
    Even some of the Liberals now talked of the advantages of military rule. With continued strikes and unrest in Petrograd the Government edged towards the imposition of martial law. Kornilov moved to suppress unrest in Petrograd but at the last moment Kerensky ordered his arrest and had to call on the Soviet to help defend the city against what seemed like an attempted coup by Kornilov. The Soviet came to Kerensky’s aid and Kornilov was arrested.
    Kerensky’s ambiguous role in this affair was to seriously damage his standing with both the Right and the Left. The army was left demoralised and confused with little sense of direction. On the Left, the affair led to an upsurge in support for the Bolsheviks, who had taken a lead in organising the workers against Kornilov, whilst support for the Mensheviks and Social Revolutionaries, both associated with the Government, declined. Kerensky and the Provisional Government were now dangerously isolated and drifting towards final collapse.

    Kerensky also had a part to play in The Kornilov Affair, which was had been run by Lavr Kornilov. He wanted the government to deal much more harshly with the communists. He felt that the Provisional Government was too soft and that it should go. He was supported by many other army officers. Kornilov demanded that all socialists and communists should be arrested, Kerensky refused to do this as he did not want to be seen to be weak. If anybody was going to order arrests it was Kerensky and not anybody else.
    Kornilov gathered troops together and marched on Petrograd. They were faced with those soldiers who had deserted the army and 20,000 Red Guards. This was a new force created by the workers of Petrograd to defend the city. With this type of force opposing him, Kornilov did not stand a chance and the attempted take over failed.
    While it may appear that Kerensky came out of this well, the real winners were the communists. The Red Guards were credited with saving the city and the workers who formed the Red Guards were sympathetic to the communists. In fact, many were communists. Ironically, the man who gained most from this was not even in Russia as Lenin was still in Finland. But it was only a matter of time. Kerensky had lost a lot of support and his power base was rapidly disappearing. But Lenin’s preparations had to be perfect.
    He had to strongly rely on the Petrograd Soviet. This was a group of workers and soldiers who had formed in 1917. Soviets were rather like councils. They had been made illegal by Nicholas in 1906 but he no longer had any power and they had re-formed after he abdicated in March 191. The Petrograd Soviet had supporters in the railway service and the banks. The Soviet was made up of workers and it hated the Provisional Government as it was made up of middle class men. The workers in Petrograd were in the majority and it was these people who supported The Petrograd Soviet.

    By October 1917 the Bolsheviks were in a position to succeed in seizing power from the Provisional Government, although by this time the Provisional Government wielded little power of its own. It is difficult not to reach a verdict of failure on the Provisional Government; it had lasted little more than eight months. Yet it should be remembered that the country had undergone enormous political change in a very short time. From being a strict autocracy Russia had gained a liberal constitution which, in theory, many in the West admired due to its emphasis on complete political and religious freedom. It even banned capital punishment in the army. The policies of the Provisional Government had also included the release of all political prisoners.
    These were positive aims but, as best demonstrated by the failure to call the Constituent Assembly and deal with land reform, their implementation was poorly handled and often ineffective.
    From the start, the Provisional Government had lacked both support and authority. Its attempts to pursue a moderate line were perhaps undermined by the lack of a substantial middle class in Russia, but it could have done more to gain support from the conservative elements or even from the moderate Left. Instead it tended to alienate both groups and as a result was left isolated. The decision to continue the war was perhaps a crucial factor, “sapping” the strength and diverting the energies of a government whose hold on power was tenuous in the first place.

    ALTHOUGH SCOTLAND IS PART OF THE U.K, THE ONLY REASON WHY SCOTLAND HAS A SEPERATE CHART BASE IS BECAUSE IT IS IT’S OWN CONFEDERACY NOW AND SINCE THE 1970’S, SCOTLAND HAS HAD MUSIICIANS WHO ARE LITERALLY ONLY FAMOUS IN SCOTLAND AND NOWHERE ELSE SO THEY CLASSIFY MUSICIANS AS “THEIR OWN”!!!

    EVEN THOUGH THE U.K IS MADE UP OF SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, WALES AND NORTHERN IRELAND – SCOTLAND FOLLOWS IT’S OWN TACTICS SO…….

    THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE GONNA ASK “ISN’T SCOTLAND PART OF THE U.K”!!!

    WOW I love your name cos I agree with what it says. Michael, Whitney… we don´t have them now. Well some people think Beyonce and Britney Spears are there so… ahhaha

    It would be good from TGJ if they´d follow all these small steps on an artist career other than nicki Minaj and Beyonce. Really it´s ridiculous how they try to post the most awkward charts to make them seem successful

  23. JohnVidal (RIPWhitney-true great) March 11, 2012

    @JAKE (STILL AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF A 21ST CENTURY “MUSICAL” LEGEND. WHERE IS HE/SHE?)

    Yeah I like Adele too. Of course she is one of the best things now (I´m not only talking about voice, music is as important too, or more). But it´s not like she is such greatness. I agree, Whitney, Mariah… those are. The thing is there are great artists, always, but nowadays they don´t leave them to enter mainstream with a few exceptions like Adele. People nowadays likes basic and fast things (including music). That´s the problem

  24. JohnVidal (RIPWhitney-true great) March 11, 2012

    Oh and I refuse to listen to the radio… it´s been like that for years now haha. I don´t know what I´d do without the internet

  31. skintightjeans March 12, 2012

    Scotland??? um…ok?

  32. QueenSize March 12, 2012

    We all know Nicki can’t f*** with today’s pop artist. So her and her clone crew make sure she uses her original genre title while trying to perform pop music. Therefore she racks up accolades for being the first femcee to do XYZ without officially competing with the pop chicks. If she switch genres she would be a failure. I see you Homette The Clown. Kudos LOL

  33. Quetta March 13, 2012

    She’s not a rapper. She’s a pop artist! Theres a difference between rap and pop..&&’nd starships is a POP song, not rap.

  34. Keepwinning March 13, 2012

    I love it that nicki has more haters than fans cuz in the history of great music icons the haterz the more success ask madonna, beyonce, & biggie. More u hate more success. Remember that haterz yall so busy hating 2 c it. If nicki minaj want 2 be ur basic female rap she won’t be a nobody.
