The April Days


The publication of a secret note from Foreign Minister Miliukov sparks demonstrations in Petrograd, the demonstrations bring down the bourgeois Provisional Government, and a new Provisional Government, which includes socialists, among them Justice Minister Kerensky, takes its place.
