February+Revolution

The February Revolution of 1917 occurred in Russia and resulted in the immediate abdication of Czar Nicholas II and termination of the Romanov dynasty. It lasted from March 8-12 (or February 24-28 in the Russian calendar). Alexander Kerensky, a man with a moderate reform plan, came to power leading what was called the Provisional Government. However, Kerensky was soon overthrown by the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, in the October Revolution of 1917.
