 | | The new leader will have to gradually accept from his predecessor all the remaining reins of government and, especially the post of head of state. | | | The old generation of leaders will evidently retain considerable influence - however, judging from information that has leaked from the informal annual meeting of the PRC's supreme leadership at the health resort of Beidaihe, the key positions are practically guaranteed to leaders of the "fourth generation" which Hu Jingtao and others belong to. | | | Apart from Hu, among the supreme leadership will also be Wen Jiabao who, it is believed, will occupy the post of Premier of the State Council - the head of the PRC's government. |

| | As a compromise, a provisional government was formed that was to lead the country to elections for a constituent assembly. | | | 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. | | | 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. |
