View question detailsThe abdication ended the legitimacy of Tsarism. Exam tip: treat it not as a personal change but as a system change.
View question detailsBoth the Provisional Government and Soviets claimed power. Exam tip: connect legitimacy with dual power.
View question detailsThe Soviets were councils representing workers, soldiers and, in many places, peasants. Their strength did not come from hereditary authority, wealth or religious institutions; it came from organised participation by groups that controlled workplaces, military units and local public life. During the period of dual power after the February Revolution, the Provisional Government had formal state authority, while the Petrograd Soviet and other Soviets possessed real influence over soldiers and workers. Therefore, option B is correct. The other choices describe sources of power unrelated to the Soviets' representative and mass-based character.

View question detailsThe Military Revolutionary Committee was created under the Petrograd Soviet in the context of the October uprising. Its military role involved coordinating guards, soldiers and strategic positions, but its political role was equally important: it presented the action as a defence of the Soviet and helped organise the transfer of power according to the Bolshevik plan. This gave the uprising an institutional framework rather than making it appear to be an unplanned private revolt. Option B is therefore correct. The other options do not describe the committee's purpose or historical function.
