Unable to resist backlash
for the handling of his policy on the war and annexation (i.e., the Dardanelles),
Miliukov resigns his post as Foreign Minister. Guchov, the Minister of War,
having refused to sign the Declaration of the Rights of the Soldiers, also
resigned his post.
This left some
portfolios open for distribution to the socialists who had been invited to join
the Provisional Government. Already some of the provincial soviets, including
that of Moscow, had declared against participation. On the other hand, some of
the soldiers seemed to prefer having a socialist in charge of the war.
