WAR, PEACE, AND FOREIGN POLICY DURING THE RUSSIAN PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF 1917.

REX ARVIN WADE, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Abstract

The period of the Russian Provisional Government, February to October, 1917, has been strangely neglected by historians. Insofar as it has attracted examination it usually has been treated in one of three ways. Sometimes it has been described as a sort of eiplogue to the old order. At other times it has been surveyed as prefatory to the new order-the Bolshevik revolution and the Soviet Union. A third approach has been to study the impact of the Russian revolution abroad or the policy of other countries toward the revolution. Allof these approaches have their own use and value, but the result has been that very little has been done on the Provisional Government itself, as a period with a history of its own. After forty-five years our knowledge of the Provisional Government Owes very little to the study of professional historians and our fragmentary knowledge of the period still derives almost entirely from the works of memoirists.
