Russian Republic

The Russian Republic was a short-lived country that de jure controlled the former Russian Empire's territory after the Provisional Government proclaimed Alexander Kerensky as Minister-Chairman on September 14, 1917.

Vladimir Lenin agreed to hold elections, but when the Bolshevik Party lost, he forefully dissolved the Russian Republic on November 7, 1917. Kerensky's attempt to dismiss Lavr Kornilov led to a failed coup.
