How did the February Revolution get this name?
The February Revolution occurred on February 22, 1917, according to the Julian calendar that Russia was using at the time. The Julian calendar was about 13 days behind the Gregorian Calendar which most of the rest of the world used. For the western world, the revolution occurred on March 8, 1817; however in Russia, it occurred on February 22, 1917, hence the name February Revolution. The following year, Russia changed over to the Gregorian calendar, but the February Revolution never lost that name even though the anniversary of the revolution was honored on March 8.

Why is the Russian revolution called the February revolution?
International Women's Day, 1917, in St. Petersburg/Petrograd, Russia, marked the start of the Russian Revolution. The dates were March 8th to the 12th on the Gregorian calendar. This is the current common calendar. In Russia at the time, the Romanov dynasty had never implemented the change to the Gregorian calendar from the Julian calendar, as most all other countries had already done. There is a discrepancy between the two systems, which at the time caused the Julian calendar to be 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar. So according to Russian calendars at the time, the dates of the uprising were February 23rd to the 27th on the Julian caledar. This being the case the event became known as the February, rather than the March Revolution.

Was Russian Provisional Government helpful to russia government?
The Provisional Government was set up after the February Revolution in 1917 when the czar was forced to abdicate. It was meant to rule Russia until a permanent government could be organized. Of course, they fixed none of things that made the population rebel in the first place and were overthrown in the October or Bolshevik Revolution.Historically, the two revolutions are referred to as the February Revolution and the October Revolution because they occurred in Russia and those were the months in which they occurred there. Academically, events that occurred within Russia under the old calendar are dated according to the calendar in place in Russia at that time, but given the explanation "Old Style". After an old style date was written there would be the date for the rest of the world with the words "New Style." Thus:"Within Russia, the Bolshevik Revolution started on October 25, 1917 (Old Style, November 7, 1917 New Style)."
