The Russian Provisional Government was a provisional government of the Russian Republic after the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II (March 15, 1917). The intention of the provisional government was the organization of elections to the Russian Constituent Assembly and its convention. The government was initially composed of the Kadet coalition led by Prince Georgy Lvov, which was replaced by the Socialist coalition led by Alexander Kerensky. The provisional government lasted approximately eight months, and ceased to exist when the Bolsheviks seized power after the October Revolution (or November 1917, depending on Calendar Dating Styles).
Provisional Government arms were exactly same as during imperial period, but devoid of any ornaments linked to the Empire or the Tsar. Due to the fact that the Provisional Government acted only eight months, arms from this period are extremely rare.
