The compiler of the Chronicle set himself the task of collecting, as whiter or less complete and detailed as possible, strictly verified material suitable for educational and scientific studies on the history of the 1917 revolution. The proposed work consists of two parts: 1) from the chronicle of the most important events in January, February, March and early April 1917 from the field of international relations, since these relations somehow relate to Russia and the events taking place in it, as well as from the field of the Russian economy, foreign and domestic policy of the tsarist autocracy, the Provisional Government of the first composition (Milyukova - Guchkova) and various classes and political parties, 2) from annexes consisting of the most significant documents characterizing those or other moments of the revolution for the specified period.
