Explanation: The February Revolution overthrew the Tsarist government, and implemented, in its place, a socialist-leaning provisional government which scheduled elections for later that year.

The Bolsheviks, wholesome lot that they are, overthrew the socialist Provisional Government in the October/November Revolution, and dissolved the subsequently returned democratically elected legislature, kicking off a ~4 year civil war.

Don't worry, they paraded themselves as the TRUE anti-Tsarists to future generations, though! 😊
