How it ended, as its article says
Dissolved, 1917-11-07. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
The government of the Russian Republic was dissolved after the Bolsheviks seized power by force on 7 November 1917.

Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vladimir Lenin | 1917 – 1918 | 1 year | ending not on record |
1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1917 – 1918. Only 1 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
Heads of government
The line of head of government, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 1 cause the record names and 6 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
Open the investigation: every row with its evidence, the conditions at the time, the theories condition by condition, and the succession analysed.
