	Russian Provisional Government, 1917 - Wikinfo
		As a compromise, a provisional government was formed that was to lead the country to elections for a constituent assembly.
		When Tsar Nicholas II abdicated on March 15 and his brother, Grand Duke Michael refused the throne the next day, the provisional government formally ruled Russia, but its power was effectively limited by the growing authority of the Petrograd Soviet.
		The provisional government succeeded in organising the elections, but failed to end Russia's involvement in World War I, thereby weakening its popularity among Russia's war-weary people.

		Michael II, Mikhail Alexandrovitch Romanov (Михаил Александрович Романов;) (November 22, 1878 (O.S) - about June 12, 1918) was the son of Tsar Alexander III of Russia, and brother of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.
		Bolshevik functionaries killed Michael Alexandrovich in the course of attempting to exterminate the Romanovs.
		The Bolshevik regime purportedly shot Michael as a test and floated rumours of his execution in the West -- to see exactly what reaction would come from the Romanovs' relatives, most specifically from King George V of the United Kingdom.

		Their only child, George, was born in 1910, and the couple married in the autumn of 1912.
		This entire argument becomes academic, as the Russian monarchy de facto ceased to exist, Michael was never crowned, he was never recognised by his people as ruler, and Nicholas II is universally accepted as the last effective tsar.

		If Russia becomes a full-blown democracy in the next 10 years, then the prospects for conflict between the United States and Russia, be it over the Latvian border or the balance of nuclear weapons, will be reduced dramatically.
		A democratic Russia moving toward entry into the European Union and even NATO will also make possible the unification of Europe and the final disappearance of East-West walls (be it through visa regimes or military alliances) that still divide Europe.

	Canadian Slavonic Papers: Michael and Natasha: The Life and Love of the Last Tsar of Russia
		The Crawfords demonstrate how Michael managed to offend his mother and older brother with his pursuit of, and marriage to, a commoner considered "the most notorious woman in Russia." The daughter of a lawyer, Natasha was at this time already on her second marriage.
		Further, Michael was killed in mid-June 1918, and not July 1918 as cited in earlier studies.
		Nonetheless, the portrayal of Russia's nobility as a social stratum in its death throes is significant achievement.

		Michael Nacht spelled out his view that Yeltsin, given his commitments at Helsinki, should now be positioned to win Duma approval of START II, although he may need to put his shoulder to the wheel with a special campaign.
		Russia needed the multilateralization agreement, Riveles noted, to clarify the legal status and provide a framework for ABM facilities outside Russian territory.
		If START II fails, the other option would be to consider whether we might enter an era of informal arms control, as once suggested by Ken Adelman, in which we drift down to lower levels through coordinated unilateral reductions, but with the burden of greater uncertainty.

		The change of calendar does not account for the discrepancy sometimes seen in the month of his death -- the old style Julian calendar lagged behind the newly-introduced Gregorian calendar by only thirteen days in the 20th century, this could not therefore account for the month-long period here.
