History
The Directorate was founded by decree of the Russian Provisional Government on 14 September 1917.[1] The Directorate was responsible for "public affairs until the establishment of the Cabinet." The Directorate was created to resolve the crisis stemming from the Kornilov Affair and the collapse of the Second Provisional Government[1] as the Constitutional Democratic Party members of the government left the Cabinet.[2]
On October 8, with the formation of the 3rd coalition, the Directorate was abolished.[1]
During the Directorate on September 14, Russia was proclaimed a republic and the State Duma of the Russian Empire was dissolved.[2]
During September 27 through October 5 at the Alexandrine Theater convened the All-Russian Democratic Conference which at the end formed the so-called Pre-parliament or the Provisional Council of the Russian Republic.[2]
