Bluff and subversion? What nonsense. The Provisional Government DID fall on November the 7th. Its chief minister, Kerensky, and others had fled the city by this time, whilst others from the government were arrested and forced to flee to the Winter Palace and the Duma HQ. Not that the provisional government held any authority or power at this point anyway. Anyone who finds this period of Russian History fascinating, make sure to check up on the facts as this documentary commits great distortions.

@gigobait You did not need to fall back on ad hominem attacks. Just a lesson to be learnded from that, it will not help your argument.

Just think. There are only a precious few people left who have experienced, or at least were alive at the time, as adults still left. All we have left is the legacy, the footage, and photographs.
