Why was Kerenskii's government unpopular ? Give two reasons.
(i) There was severe conflict between Kerenskii's provisional government and the Bolsheviks. Lenin feared that Kerenskii would set up a dictatorship. In September, he began discussions for an uprising against the government. Bolshevik supporters in the army, soviets and factories were brought together.
(ii)On 16 October 1917, Lenin persuaded the Petrograd Soviet and the Bolshevik Party to agree to a socialist seizure of power. A military revolutionary committee was appointed by the Soviet under Leon Trotskii to organise the seizure. The date of the event was kept a secret.
