The third Duma started on the 1st November 1907 and this time they stuck to the agenda and behaved themselves. Then when the war started and Germany declared war on Russia and with the Tsar gone to lead his troops into war the Duma was left alone to do what they wanted without the Tsar saying they are being too radical.

The Duma became the Provisional Government lead by Alexander
