WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Provisional Government was the formally constituted authority in Russia, with responsibility for the conduct of the war between February and October 1917. It was formed when the tsar’s government collapsed after protests over food shortages and unemployment gathered momentum in the last week of February 1917.

Detailed explanation-2: -On the advice of Sergey Yulyevich Witte, he issued the October Manifesto (October 17 [October 30], 1905), which promised a constitution and the establishment of an elected legislature (Duma).

Detailed explanation-3: -The term boyar duma is used to refer to advisory councils in Russia from the 10th to 17th centuries. Starting in the 18th century, city dumas were formed across Russia. The first formally constituted state duma was the Imperial State Duma introduced to the Russian Empire by Emperor Nicholas II in 1905.

Detailed explanation-4: -Duma is an elected consultative Parliament which was created as a result of the 1905 Revolution. The coming up of Duma did not lead to the Tsar giving up power in Russia. The Tsar still had the final say in the laws of the country.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Bloody Sunday massacre sparked the Russian Revolution of 1905, during which angry workers responded with a series of crippling strikes throughout the country. Farm laborers and soldiers joined the cause, leading to the creation of worker-dominated councils called “soviets.”
