Post 3: On the events of the February/March Revolution of 1917.

1917
Whoah, it's 1917 already! Sorry for not updating the blog for 12 years. I got a little caught up in things. 
So anyways, after the revolution in 1905, Russia's economy just kept getting worse and worse. Food prices
went up, everyone got sick, and people were starving. Everything sucked for everyone, even my family. (Especially us).
At the beginning of this year, Dad was forced into giving up the throne after a series of riots. Workers had went on strike because of the factory conditions, but Dad didn't do anything and so protestors voted to overthrow him. We had to get move out of the palace. The new leader now is Alexander Kerensky, who is continuing Russian involvement in WWI. Two new rival political parties sprang up, the Petrograd Soviet and the Provisional Government. The Petrograd Soviet opposed Kerensky because they wanted to abolish the absolute monarchy and Kerensky was the leader of the country.
