The Menshiviks, under the leadersip of Alexander Kerensky, forced the Tsar (Nicholas II) to abdicate his throne. Although the Tsar was gone, the Mensheviks continued to keep Russia in the Great War against Imperial Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They also did little to feed the people and blunt the power of the Boyars and the Kulaks. The Bolsheviks, under Nikolai Lenin and Leon Trotsky, preached a slogan of "Peace, Bread and Land". In October of that same year they marched from Smolney Hall in Saint Petersburg to the Marinsky Palace and overthrew the government of the First Provisional Republic under Kerensky.
Seventy four years later, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics started by Lenin were dissolved and replaced by the Russian Federation and other independent nations.
In a touch of real irony, every flag pole in Russia today is flying the flag which was first flown during the First Provision Republic established in February of 1917.
