The right- and left-leaning
factions in the Provisional Government both gain legislative victories on this
day. To please his generals, Kerensky put through a decree restoring the death
penalty at the front. The left, still fumbling to formulate an agrarian policy,
managed to put through a half-hearted measure limiting the sales of land. It
pleased no-one.
Kerensky also
removed General Polotsev from command of the Petrograd garrison at about this
time, giving one explanation to the left in the Provisional Government and
another to his friends on the right.
