metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article, based on archival materials, describes events connected with the preparation
  of the demonstration on February 14, 1917. It is shown that, in the atmosphere of the “Government Assault” undertaken by the liberal opposition, the group of the most radical opposition,
  supported by the Central Military Industrial Committee and led by A. I. Guchkov decided to join
  the workers’ organizations in order to organize a grand anti-government demonstration. The
  Central Military Industrial Committee kept contact with the working people through the “Working
  Group”, which was a part of the Committee and was headed by the Menshevik K. A. Gvozdev. It
  was expected that on the day of the convocation of the State Duma, on February 14, a hundred
  thousand people would gather at the walls of the State Duma and would require the deputies to
  create a “Provisional Government” responsible to the Duma and the “people”. In case the police
  and government forces tried to scatter the protesters, then, according to the police, it was
  planned to provide armed resistance; weapons were given to people at some factories. It was
  supposed that the manifestation could become the beginning of an armed uprising and revolution.
  The authorities were worried by the news received, and they arrested the “Working Group”,
  nevertheless, preparations continued. However, the possibility of an uncontrolled development
  of events worried the moderate leaders of the Progressive Bloc and, at a meeting on January 29,
  P. S. Miliukov spoke out against the planned demonstration. At the same time, another leader
  of the Bloc, M. V. Rodzianko, tried to use the fears of the authorities to get their consent to the
  creation of a responsible ministry. Finally, Miliukov and Rodzianko made an appeal before the
  workers to refrain from demonstration, and it did not take place. However the authorities appreciated
  the loyalty of the opposition and, according to some information, Nicholas II decided to
  agree to the creation of a responsible ministry.
