The Russian Provisional Government was formed by the Duma after the collapse of the tsarist regime. It was internationally recognized as the government of Russia from February to October of 1917.
Initially, the Russian Provisional Government was composed of liberal ministers alone. The only exception was Alexander Kerensky of the Socialist Revolutionary Party.
The Provisional Government was initially chaired by Prince Georgy Yevgenievich Lvov, a member of the Constitutional Democratic Party. Over its eight-month existence, it was reorganized twice, each time as a coalition of several political parties. However, it was not able to effectively address the major problems of the country and became very unpopular.
