UDC 947.084.223(Р57)

The paper treats the political crisis Russia experienced in spring and summer of 1917 and its im-pact on Siberia. The paper analyzes the crisis of legitimacy of revolutionary authorities in the context of general post-February social-political crisis in Russia. The paper investigates the issue through the prism of a dialectical approach. All statements are based on the principles of a historical method, which pre-supposes that each event should be analyzed as a chain of other historical events of the epoch. Under-standing the essence of the post-February crisis of 1917, which triggered off the October Revolution and the social reformation, is one of the key tasks of a research devoted to the investigation of Russian mod-ernization in the early 20th century. The specific character of the political crisis of 1917 and its impact on Siberia is an important research issue. The modernization of the Russian Empire in the early 20th century predetermined the importance of Siberia-related issues such as land management by resettled and native peasants, trade and supply crises, administrative and economic inequality of Siberia. The issues became acute during World War I, which resulted in Siberian dwellers’ active participation in the February Revo-lution and post-revolutionary events of 1917. Siberian dwellers’ hoped that the Provisional Government would grant them social and economic preferences, which predetermined their political views and activi-ties. The complications associated with the legitimization processes triggered off the Kerensky Offensive and the Kornilov Affair (Russian attempts at Bonopartism), which produced an Alexandre-Millerand-Letter effect, i.e. led to the participation of socialists in a bourgeois government.
